Zealots
Completely absorbed,
the young zealot rips his foe
limb from bloody limb. . .
From his parents’ TV drones
more talk of terrorism.
in their own worlds -
thrilling for the kill. . .
can they learn compassion?
kids playing games
like “Modern Warfare”. . .
how can violence stop?
A tanka with questionku chasers
