athena
we wage this war
with wisdom-
we’ll never
be the same.
wading deep
into the water,
we’re
drowning
in the mud.
stifled voices.
smothered songs.
dying
from dissent.

Kelly – I like anything myth based. Love “drowning in mud.” Thanks for sharing!
Your poem takes me back to the Acropolis, athena’s marvelous monument. Thanks for that…
