Mighty man is a lie Wrapped in mighty wars With mighty blasting guns Unafraid to have die His god-jawed deed Smothered in oily terror.
O! Petulant living!
Even my blind grasp Of these words Is no more than A churning obituary Held up To fading mirror...
Man screams peace While horrified from war, Then dreams up wars To profit oil’s raven.
Have we no more than ugliness To bend our bodies back upon us; Our war complete, our hunger fed, Thirst’s tin cup filled with stones?
The man that says, “War is the road to peace” Is a fool and a coward. Warring man is a liar Wrapped in God’s breath, Brandishing the mighty book With oily, bloodstained hands.
Let us witness serenity approach, Put our fingers inside her desperation Falling from God’s deafening lips. Grasping peace we can outlive war And its dark pestilent dirge. In peace we might cling tightly of love Bending nearer of one another.

Mighty man is a lie
Wrapped in mighty wars
With mighty blasting guns
Unafraid to have die
His god-jawed deed
Smothered in oily terror.
O! Petulant living!
Even my blind grasp
Of these words
Is no more than
A churning obituary
Held up
To fading mirror...
Man screams peace
While horrified from war,
Then dreams up wars
To profit oil’s raven.
Have we no more than ugliness
To bend our bodies back upon us;
Our war complete, our hunger fed,
Thirst’s tin cup filled with stones?
The man that says,
“War is the road to peace”
Is a fool and a coward.
Warring man is a liar
Wrapped in God’s breath,
Brandishing the mighty book
With oily, bloodstained hands.
Let us witness serenity approach,
Put our fingers inside her desperation
Falling from God’s deafening lips.
Grasping peace we can outlive war
And its dark pestilent dirge.
In peace we might cling tightly of love
Bending nearer of one another.
