Little Worth

 

Little Worth

I shall not like to find myself

in a country that’s at war,

for the depths of that depression

just chills me to my core.

Unlike the newsreel movies,

so illusive of the feel,

in reality, there’s anguish,

for the lives that they do steal.

…and outrage breeds determined might

with solemn inhumanity,

that never heals over time

in remembrance of calamity.

Of all the wars I’ve come to know

through my prison here on earth,

I find that I’m more angry,

and that money has little worth.
