TO END ALL WARS

TO END ALL WARS

you call me
an animal
but you
are the ones
who kill
poets

shoot them
through the back
of
the head

civilized style
execution style

and amongst animals
who could be
less worthy of
life

than poets
what poet anywhere
(looking at
         you, Wilfred Owen,
Erich Maria Remarque)

did their bit
      for humanity

by winning a war
         (the war to end all wars)
