Order of War

Are we caught up in "War of the Worlds?"

Or is it more like "Wars in our World?"

Everyday, there's something different

Sometimes I just wanna curl

...

Up beneath the blankets

and hide beneath the sheets

Everyone's getting beat

& Battered, Left Hook, shattered gray mater

As segregated communities march to their beat

...

Declaring war and battle

On one another

Families torn asunder

They blunder, stumble and fumble

Father attacks Son, and

Son attacks Brother,

As Daughter and Mother

Slaughter One Another

With Brothers and Sisters

giving one another blisters

As the begot spit out

begotten to spit on begotten

Trauma delt to each other is not forgotten

...

As we no longer hold

What keeps us together

in our households

We try to integrate

As we further segregate

Politically With Ideal Apartheid

More than our skin

More than our kin

They took apart hide,

the skin surface

of our identity

To use for a propensity

For violence, In Riots

We split apart, hide

...

As we further compartmentalize

Cut the box into boxes

Lock locks up with lockes

Forced into a main compartment,

though we belong to many

We want to be together,

but hate when any

Enemy sides with us

Against us

We thrust trust, and force

it onto others

We smother

Demanding to reciprocate

Yet, the sweet wine has turned sour grapes

As friends, like apples rotten, forced not forgotten

The only gift that we get is

ReciproHate

...

Waging war through ideals

Waging war with our feels

Yet, our feelings can block the way

That can show us what's real

...

The truth isn't always morally right

but it is legitimate

People like to cherry pick it to pieces,

the truth's indiscriminate

Medicinal properties can cause growing pains

That challenge our brain

Breaking our world view

Since, our senses can be deceived

In the world that we view

As we want to be right, as show others our sight through

The glasses we wear

The crosses we bear

The truth isn't fair

Pissing us off, before it sets us free

Yet we latch onto the cage

Instead of escaping

Relapsing back to older habits

Further down the hole like a rabbit

Since there's so much to cherry pick

We cheerily stick

With mindsets that drive us apart, and might make us sick

From the brain to the heart

Thinking we're smart

We can't think we're bring us closer

When what we need is some closure

Sure

War can bring about peace as needed

When we need it

Yet, we first need to deal with the inner turmoil of ourselves

To have the plants of peace be seeded

So by taking care of feeding ourselves with a nurturing farm

Instead of seeding thorns others and us, inflicting self and more harm

The truth may arm

Us with information

But we should attain delectation

Through the ability to unite ourselves

even when being judged by the nation

Or the nations

That we live in

and are united

By the ball of dirt

With magma below the surface, water on the surf-

Ace

The Purpose

Is when we have war

Is to settle the dispute

And not refute

That damage's been done

or yet to begun

As we learn what takes its toll

and heal ourselves and others

Damage control

...

In the wars in the world

That bring about new forms of world order

We have to ask ourselves, when we're waging war

"What does it order?"

Realize the disorder

Formed by the creation, and segregation of borders

When we learn of its order

Our priorities we must now reorder
