As wars continue to dominate our news and headlines, and as wars always involve suffering for people who don’t start or desire such conflicts, I thought I’d post this poem from my book </war>. As usual, susbcriptions to this Substack are free and all are welcome to read, participate, or just hang out for a while.
Clichés to End the Wars by Chuck Rybak Make love not war. The bloom is off the war. Here's the church, here's the steeple, wars don't kill people, people kill people. Because I could not stop for war, it kindly stopped for me. The emperor has no wars. It was war at first sight. Home is where the war is. Stop, drop, and war. He wars me. He wars me not. He wars me. He wars me not. Cheaters never war. Fool me once, war on you. Fool me twice, war on me. He was such a nice war, kept to himself, that kind of war doesn't happen around here. War is a dish best served cold. Good wars make good neighbors. so much depends upon a red war barrow Tomorrow is another war.
War permeates life.
