[Hypocrisy of deterrence. To rationalize
the need for weapons. On the basis:
it discourages other nations.

They say. Weapons are created. To
deter their own use. To make null their own
necessity.]

[Monster yourself.

Exert evil to dissuade evil in others.]

[Preventative measures. As motive to conquer.]

[As initiation of conflict.]

[As manifestation of war.]

for how to conjure
the sigh of a line, hushed

beneath the flap of a thousand
shifting plumes.

What is the body of a
garden where a crescent

despairs, drifts beneath
the melt of amber.

I can't even imagine. This country has done so much evil to so many people - learning this horror story via Mai Der Vang's poetry is next level.
