this rage could sink
a million ships
I climb the sails of it
the cannons beg to roar
yet I press down
and I press on
a pirate of humanity
born
from watching what life and love
and this war
destroys

VetRep is thrilled to present “God of Carnage” by Yazmina Reza for the month of September. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
