War of Wor(l)ds

"The medium is the message."

Marshall Mc Luhan, 1967

Holy man
Speaks of peace
Enlivens
deepest hate.

Erudite
Unworldly wise
seeks merely
to advise
through soulful
thought
(or as is claimed)
in scholar's tone
not to preach
upon throne
but successfully
lays the bait.

Woeful
he mourns
the chasm
Fury of the irate
Enlightenment
and reason
adorn the costume
that is Faith.
