The last eighty years have not been peaceful.
Where countries have declared 'peace',
it has been by masking how their military
and intelligence services have operated,
and making their armament industries
'for export' and 'for defensive use' only.
But with new technology, old alliances
weakened, and weaponry that could never
be purely defensive now setting the agenda
the world is turning to a new darkness,
that we now realise never went away.
So watch out for a new NATO where America
has no allies and share no values with anyone else.
And its near neighbours, Cuba and Mexico have
no safe distance from an enmity they can't control.
Ukraine and other states that border other empires
inclined over-reach themselves will seek out
a frame of mind more cautious, than enlightened.
With the world as we once knew it ending....
