Patriotism
Nations

flows to and fro
Like
the wind over sand
Blurring
Blending
Changing
Lines
and Nations alike.

NINIVAR
Cursed
are they
Who
pull down stone
And
unmake old bones memory

longer just a nose to break
But grind to dust histories beauty
Revealing
only ugly minds
Ugly
forms
They
in turn will be
Unmade,
crumble and blow away
