Dichotomy
Fear of death is fear of life,
To fight for peace is to create strife
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
To declare a war on terror is to war against war itself.
Self defeating dichotomy, man’s weakness.
Madness carried every day, a relic of lies told to oneself.
Give lies a paintbrush and they shall give a man.
Unfortunately due to the shortness of this poem I was unable to post it without this note as RoyalRoad is not exactly built for a poetry archive. I fear that this note may become a common sight after each poem though I should at least be thankful I haven't written much in the way of Haiku.
