Too simple

A tough week for the world, and hard to take some of the explanations that are so easily offered when things go so wrong.

Too simple

Espousing simple answers
what a mess you make,
good and evil unrelated,
no room for grey.

Claim to know your enemy,
claim as yours all truth,
no ear for irony’s laughter,
just tooth for tooth.
