A superior force is sleeping

A superior force is sleeping
In the peep of opinions, clacking of calculations.
Who is ferociously ripping whom
By a counter-argument to persuade the nations
In the necessity and low cost of the action,
By its consequences exceeding the horror
Of all the former invasions and insurrections,
That the brain is trying to expel in sorrow
With the moral and international law and order
And the images of the killed civilians..
Was there really a gas murder?
Conclusive proof is needed immediately
Of what the intellect if failing to cope
With, at the red line, where the mercy is fading,
To engage, in this ageing porcelain shop,
The external superior force in waiting.

New York, 8 September 2013
