Paladin has a spectacular aura aboutPaladin has a spectacular aura about
I still want to be angry

I dedicate this poem to retrorich, Jaiket, Watcher, Galamount and Ian


I still want to be angry
All those people who agree to shed blood
I want to understand why they think killing makes us safer
Sometimes I even wonder if I’m right about that
But then I think I rather be sorry
Than safe

I simply don’t get it
I want to be sad and angry
Don’t they see the seeds of wrath
And destruction
Produce weeds?

I want to ask God
What is right
What is wrong and why oh why
Is there still killing
Why are children dying
For corporate greed?

People manipulate others to think in hateful ways
And I look deeper to make sense out of
The senseless
No one is thinking
Or seeing
My
God
What
Are
We
Doing?









Peace

Mark

Thanks for the dedication Mark.

In the context I find this line is particularly relevant and powerful:
