War became the Norm
When war was born
We blessed Gilgamesh
All transgressions were confessed
A great purpose to him was given
By the love of brotherhood enmeshed.

When war became the norm
We blessed Achilles,
Best of all heroes ever born
But a bloodthirsty warrior too,
See how the author warns,
“Oh sing, oh muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Acheans.”

Manhood is exalted in the throes of fighting
Glory is praised by the Gods’ proffered knighting
Soldiers flashy medals, the currency of privilege
Every Father tells his Son,
Go be a hero for your village.

Achilles’s mother, goddess Thetis,
Of the glistening feet says,
Two fates are before you, Son
Lay siege to Troy and perish young
Or go home where pride and glory die,
And you along with the aged lie.

Mortal women also share
Prophecies
Like the dire words of
Andromache
Holding her infant son
Bearing unshakeable truths of what will come
Husband, hear me.
Her words dissolve into infinity,
You will fall, while I will be encaged, and
Our child will be taken from me while still a babe.

Nationalism makes new monsters everyday
Desecrating symbols,
Slaughtering faith,
Rewriting stories of what really happened
Into tales of glory with glamour captioned.
~
Brash boys, petulant ones,
Individuals with their guns
Genius invasions, bravado
The very virile masculine.
~
Thumbs up from
Wannabes pardoning
War crimes with high fives
On living room couches
Tough Guys
Singing their entitlement songs.
~
Must we wait ten years
For clear eyes and heads
To realize war
Serves only funeral beds?
