tom taylor - war clan

war clan

secret plans fester beneath ordered calm
deeds outsourced beyond belief inside at
the least whim executed formal declares
offal dues replete with photo data on wall

word gets out the deals are done against
the folks who simply live in time alone to
these calculations they’ve not seen at all
the dumps along the road fill with bodies

no end in sight but man’s inhospitable and
crude nature all between seconds and thirds
the doorway swinging on broken hinges to
clear history of its empty claims to peace
