after the assorted body parts are gathered, counted, sorted, characterized, analyzed and loosely identified
the remains are given a brief precursory rite of recognition and sent hail mary, to their final point of disembarkation like any other parcel sent along
on their way
what has been gathered of this are not principalities, just philosophies
in mirror+images whose parallels
invite not+so polite criticism
in the coffee shops and bars where+ever people gather these days becoming ripe conversation,
for comparison by hindsight
where real battlefields should be fought
celebrating the joys and the hardships of life together rather than
pitting teams of like minded individuals against one another,
when will we ever learn
to choose better wars to fight
in battlefields
within our minds,
instead
