Bellum/Bella
Can there be beauty in war?

A View of the Fight
Is bellum bella? Does it possess traits
That aestheticians would deem as the good?
Is war the harsh hygiene of the sore straits,
That has shown the face of frights from the hood?
The deadly paint brush drips with blood through scores
Of years running back since man’s very dawn.
Many victims have been killed at the doors.
And in this landscape, blood waters the lawn.
Through millennia, battles have been fought
In the handles of faith, groups, and others.
It’s from the stale palette that folks are taught
That war is lovely and never bothers.
There is nothing about combat that can
Make a girl a woman or boy a man.
