Sending arms, declaring death 
‘whole civilization’ vs state
in name of ‘god and country’
on ‘holy land’ you eviscerate

food for thought. Cross of Lorraine and symbolic transformation

thankful to those who carry the burden
it’s about time we question the curtain
wooled over our eyes
'come what we despise
iterations of what we’ve read
future present, that we once dread
Orwell’s consequence

food for thought. Gesellschaft Paris (1931), Max Beckmann

with February comes
the dew of the sun
to the City of Angels,
on fire
in passion, We sing
to klan and his king
'it never was America to me'

Let America Be America Again, Hughes
