Mundane War

After a war has plodded on
week after week month after month
there is no more news.
A crisis after time is not a crisis
not news-worthy
no matter how many more
are thrown into poverty,
No matter how many die,
no matter how many souls
are torn asunder by bullets,
attempting to “keep peace”
for those who rest safely,
but fearfully,
in their homes.
