The Poem Mistaken
Is a title made in caution
For what is my meaning
Do not read of war’s feeling
To be certain:
If, or is it since
Any legitimacy in war
Could have only one cause
Being the protecting of children
When all other methods are failing
But when also it is
That money’s real cause
Is precisely only
That of protecting children
And thus any legitimacy in war
Must be a latter solution
To that we use money for
And after the failure of
Money’s providence
Therefore
When a soldier is paid
The money he earns
Can only disprove
Legitimacy in war
Thus let us not be too poor
To protect what childrhood is worth
Let us not fail to suggest
That social justice works best
By redistribution of wealth
That every child has real access
To what protects
For if we want peace
Motherhood’s love
Is worth no less
Than money’s means
Always being put to the test
