Old and New Tales
Old and new tales are told,
Of dwindling resources and desperate folks,
With gifted tempers and inflamed ideas,
All done to create a crisis,
A way of thinking mind holds,
Much pain and no recourse,
Yes at times unreasonability is called for,
Especially in wars that involve ideals,
I reminisce to happier times,
Or rightly when survival was all I knew,
I sit this one out,
As my soul has the scars to bear.
