At War

At War

conflicts cause confusion
words thrown like punches
accusations jab at one another
strategies dance to seek advantage
more than win a friend

words wage war
threats attempt to flank opponents
rhetoric marches forces forward
amassing arsenals of lethal language
rather than calm a foe
