Poetry Thursday

Since it is Thursday, it is time for poetry, right? Didn't I read that somewhere? Here is a poem fragment that was at the bottom of my A Word A Day email.

A wonderful time--the War:
when money rolled in
and blood rolled
out.
But blood
was far away
from here--
Money was near.

- Langston Hughes, poet and novelist (1902-1967)
