History’s Tapestry—Teaches
Ekphrastic 50-word drabble based on Salvador Dali's The Face of War

The Face of War, 1941 by Salvador Dali - https://www.dalipaintings.com/the-face-of-war.jsp
Excuse after excuse. Recuse after blood-drenched recuse. Pardon after soul-raping pardon. When will it stop? When will erasure stop? How many bodies, how many lives must be wilfully, strategically, unjustifiably broken—ceased? Cyclical cynicism after catastrophic cyclical cynicism. Yet—humanity fails. Humanity fails—to learn. Learn the life-sacrificing lesson that history's treacherous tapestry—teaches.
