Who knows what thoughts are wrought
when wordsmiths write about slaughter
with words which are whimsical and trite
and inimical to the sanctity of human life.

Glad to see you back Mark---and with another of your signature quatrains. Intriguing as usual. However, I love your work most when its filled with the fab imagery you often summon up.

Nice word-play Mark.  The line-ending near rhymes are nice.  They would be made better with a metre pattern to the lines.  While they appear of similar length, the syllable count keeps expanding.   :)
