No One's Fault

This used to be my street,

This used to be my home,

This used to be my land.

I do not understand

And cannot fathom why

Things got so out of hand,

So much has been destroyed,

So many had to die.

 

These simple-minded times

Have carved the perfect tool

To camouflage the truth

And take us for a fool.

 

It turns out that this war

Is no one’s fault at all.

Thank you for your comment, Marla, and thanks to everyone who liked this poem.
Of course, back in the non-ironic world, the war is someone's fault. And we know who.

I recently collected some of my 2024 Ukraine poems into a short pamphlet entitled 'One Thousand Days'. This is one which I had not posted yet.
The pamphlet is available from sgospage@gmail.com
