No Return to Eden

War, war, war,
more, more, more
quasi-imperialism in store
for the nation already sore,
and wondering what militarism is good for,

will the present incursion
even decrease our depression
into the face of fear,

oh Lord,
when will we finally learn our lesson
that compassion is the true cure for terror,
as well as our dysfunctional desire
to corrupt our relationship with nature,

so we stare with despair
into the abyss
that stares back into us,

while the question of our survival
at this point of no return to Eden,
has become quite rhetorical.
