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.
