invisibility

my dad said
son how do you view peace
in a world full of terror
and I replied
like a young bird flying across the sky
without losing one feather
he said
it sounds like a pipedream
like food for the starving
or the homeless finding some shelter
but then I turned back and smiled said
it's better than the alternative
he said
what's that,
I said
war on terror

you could fire all the guns
and hope for a direct hit
and cling to the halo
you're fitting yourself with
but when you wake in the morning
and the fallout starts a pouring
who then is to blame
when you're the only one left
to point your finger at
