War & peace,
Or peace & war,
Opposite sides of the same coin,
Or different coins,
Tolstoy’s prerogative….
Mythical, historical,
Medieval, or contemporary,
Shifting mindsets,
Evolving complexities,
Changing masks, same evil,
Old fault lines, new battles,
Manipulating regimes, fallen soldiers,
Rapacious rulers, drooling puppets,
Marauding mobs, torrent of fear,
Silent shrieks, frozen tears,
Muzzled laughter, charred bodies,
Broken hearts, shattered dreams,
Wounded doves, elusive peace…
