This is excellent! I love this line especially:
A thousand wars you've waged. With each melee,
you fail to learn, despite the deja vu.
Wow. A powerful poem that talks to mankind and I think you did an excellent job with it. The rhyme is natural and this flows wonderfully. Great job.

What a deep macabre piece of work and it is the truth.
It will end somehow either by their own hands or the unknown yet to come.
The rondeau redouble is perfectly done

A very well written piece. Your well-chosen words flow easily line to line combining and forming their own unique rhythm. They continue combining and forming the message of the poem for the reader.

Comment from rama devi
Wish I had a six. This is exceptional ad so relevant and timely! The rhyming is utterly outstanding...I marvel at your finesse! Flawless meter and flow too. I enjoyed this a ton, especially read aloud the second time. Bravo.
Favorite lines--memorable:
A thousand wars you've waged. With each melee,
you fail to learn, despite the deja vu.
There are so many nuances, I won't list them all but just applaud my favorite phonetics, like...
Superb medley of F in
frailties, far, usefulness, fair
Lots of consonance of K and this fine slant internal rhyme edicts and appendix is brilliant::
our Hundred Edicts (See Appendix Two)
Love the M sounds here:
the mess you made when fickle minds held sway.
And W here:
A thousand wars you've waged. With each melee,
Kudos!
Warmly, rd

Thanks, Rama.
This poem won me a 50-pound prize in an outside competition, so I'm already quite proud of it. Glad you have given it the tick of approval as well.
