Human Rhetoric and Politics

(version 1)
A left and right arial assault
where there is very little ammunition.
In smoke and ashes we all fall down.
Look around and see that nobody's won.

(version 2)
A Left and Right arial assault
there is very little ammunition.
In smoke and ashes we all fall down.
Look around and see that nobody's won
and see that it's everybody's fault
or it's worth absolutely nothing at all.
Eventually in retaliation someone will fire a bullet
and the renewed fighting will never be done
not even when we are long dead.
I wonder, is this the path you wish to go on?

Miss Oshkosh

I am Miss Oshkosh, I am so young and innocent
my grief is eternally visible on my face
In my short life I have known great pain
my heart has been taken from me at knifepoint
my love is shattered into slivers of glass
I am alone while I am continually raped
every perpetrator lies to the world
I am Miss Oshkosh found today in her apartment
a 17-year old bloody naked and murdered mess.
