The Right and The Wrong – The Shi Rensa
How callous is man,
taciturn in the ice crypts
of the war machine.

that layers the soul of the earth ―
weaponizes life.
Weaponizes life,
hustles the economy ―
bread and death for all.
Bread and death for all ―
there can be no ceasefire
when the earth’s ablaze.
