Marilyn Nelson — The Truceless Wars
Poetry Unbound
The Truceless Wars by Maryland Nelson
The truceless wars by maryland nelson is a play on the idea of human nature and nature. Often we speak about ourselves like we are not part of nature, but in this holding to he of these two halves of the sonnet, there is nature as exhibited in beastly actions by humanity. The poem ends on the threefold repetition of nothing, nothing, nothing. And it's hard to feel happy at the end of this poem. But one of the things that i think the poem does want is to pay attention to the middle life struggles to evolve higher in us through questioning toward hope.
