we teach other to swim

one day a man with an ar-15 was took by an arrow
another  a tank was disabled by a falling pine
the bamboo trip wires well penetrated combat boots
men who went without rice for days decimated
all the boys who did'nt really want to fight in the first place
my best friend is a muslim who loves pork chops
 just because he disagrees does not mean he does'nt pay homage
always a hill to climb
never flatland next to a coastline where we can actually see eachother
 and teach to swim
