What Rough Beast | Poem for August 4, 2017

George Warui
Police

Is Great
And for the war of
The years
And war of the guns
And the years of the months
And for the months of the Caribbean and years
Of house
And years of the wars
And years of the sound
And years of the schools
And years of the gates
And years of the wars
And years of the chains
And years of the months
And years of the minds
And years of the goods
