An author's retrospective…
It’s about service, duty, and honour;
and the workings of lonely sons’minds;
painting Anzac Days in a pastel past,
to render their meaning sublime.
It’s about conflict about conflict,
About conflict;
and surreal images of shock.
About ships of fools,
and cosmic tools,
and destinies etched in rock.
It’s about numbering days,
in ancient ways,
and the inner theatre of war.
About wisdom and patent design,
the purpose of hate,
and its claw.
It’s about fear and confusion,
and final resolution,
and love,
peace by peace.
