1916

we are always brought back there
in books-------movies-------- plays
to the middle of a bloody senseless war
soldiers drowning in the muddy trenches of France

it’s been almost 100 years since then
but wars rage on senselessly
cold wars
civil strife
endless argument with no listening

stuck in that one year
and we can’t escape

the world in a prison camp of un-peace
with no way out
razor wire and power hungry guards
keeping everyone in
locked in time and place

is there any hope to get us to the end of 1918?
