Bone Ivory Tower.

Bone Ivory Tower.

Gather them up

all the bones 

of the fallen

spare not 

a fibula 

nor a molar

from every war

that was ever spent

in the stripping 

of men's flesh.



 
Build an ivory tower

that stretches 

beyond McKinley

and the Himalayas

a structure 

so massive

that it humbles

all the nations

that gaze 

upon it in 

abject horror.

a massive 

object lesson

that sets all 

souls to 

shuddering

Young men 

and women's

sacred bones

reaching to the heavens

where their souls

rest far from

man's hatred and 

butchery

Place it in the 

center of the world

so that all must see it

we have to stop burying

the dead from wars

let everyone 

know their pain

drastic measures

but far less drastic

then continuing 

the endless killing

of each other every year 

Then perhaps

at long last

men will turn

this monolith 

of madness into

a cathedral of peace

that will encompass 

the whole world

shading all of 

its masses

forever

from mankind's hate

and wars endless 

destructive heat

in hopefully an 

everlasting peace
