Escaping War
By William Brendan McPhillips
21st CenturyThe crows in raucous loops above us read
Our minds and gathered up our ancient dread
And doors and windows opened up the town
To "Glory be -" and language deeper down;
And then we saw this eagle of the night
His cross a broken emblem breeding fright
And hovering in circles circling we
Were trapped in puppet movement, mimicry.
At last we saw the awful creature glide
To rest where nothing half his wing could hide;
And free from blind allegiance came a man,
Who dared to shed his honor in a plan
And out of war I thought I saw a smile
Erase the concept of a coward's guile.
