Our Conundrum (poem)

By Barry L. Reece

If you cleave to victory
it will elude you
like water in cupped hands

—D. Nurkse

It's official. The debate is
over. Questions answered.
Doubts laid to rest.

No more excuses
No more secrets
No more lies
No more false hope

Our war is a major
debacle. The impasse
impenetrable. Stay, we
fail. Leave, we fail.

—Barry L.Reece
