Let us not pretend
Names are unimportant
Words are deployed like
Booby-trapped IEDs
If you trip the wire
It cannot be defused
Nor put back
In the ground
Shrapnel
Piercing hearts
Fragmenting arguments
Through misnomers
Call this war
Of words and minds
While children lie
Broken
Under collapsed
Apartment blocks

n.b. Day 427 (I think).
