Question to Saint Augustine from Hippo

Dear Saint Augustine, I am reading a report:
They say weather is getting colder
Trans-Atlantic flights maybe canceled,
Over next week,
And I am waiting for my kidney medicine.
Oh, how horrible that is, Saint Augustine
Waiting for your kidney medicine
To come from another country while
Not having a health insurance
that pays for it

And hearing a report;
There will be a storm.

Saint Augustine, I was just in Hippo
I just came out of it,
You won’t believe how many times
I visited Hippo
Without sugar
Looking for some help
Without my conscious effort
Looking for bits of sugar
Or some sweet water
Or even some Coca Cola
But not sugarfree..

Saint Augustine,
You know it very well,
When you are in Hippo
You always need something
With sugar
To get your blood Glucose
up
and get out of your comatose
Situation;

And when someone offers
The Sugar
Or Juice
Or even Coca Cola
Manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia
Not Turkish, Russian, Persian
Armenian, Azerbaijani
Georgia,
But US-Georgia.
When someone offers and you
Take this sugar or Coke
Then you leave Hippo
and slowly start
Becoming Hipper!

It always feels very good,
Saint Augustine,
Coming out of Hippo
And going towards Hipper.
I’m sure you’ve felt this
Many times
When you have left Hippo
To go up,
and up,
To commanding heights
Of the Roman Empire!

Saint Augustine,
I am reading the report,
And report says
That
In 1996
Four thousand
Four hundred
Twenty people
in America
Could have created secrets.

Now their number is down
to
2,557.

Saint Augustine,
I must confess:
I am reading a report
From “Time” magazine.

Saint Augustine,
This report tells me:
That
US Army owns
75,080 secrets
State Department owns
55,224
Justice Department
48,950

And President
has
1,609
secrets exactly.
With no exaggeration.

Behind the report
I know
That other countries
Also keep secrets
Like some of them
Smile to each other
While they want to
Nuke each other.
All of those damn countries
All of those damn nation states
Keep those dark secrets
In their dark brains.
I guess dark rooms
Aren’t fashionable anymore.
In the age of rationality
They practice dark brains;

Saint Augustine,
I want to ask you?
Why keeping
Those Secrets?

Do you know, Saint Augustine?

I’m asking you
Since you knew so many other things
Maybe you have an answer
On this one too.

Saint Augustine,
I’ve been in Hippo
Many times;

One time,
My glucose level dropped
To 17;
I cold not believe I was alive
Neither doctors
They were watching
In disbelief that
I was alive;
But somehow,
I didn’t die in Hippo
And went up again
To being hipper;

I was in Hippo
More than 100 times
Last 22 years
And I have survived Hippo
More than 100 times;
I don’t even remember
exactly
How many times;

I just wanted to connect
Once I heard you were in Hippo
many times
I guess;
Since everyone says
You are from
Hippo;

Saint Augustine,
I guess,
When you would come out of Hippo
You will always get hipper,
Since that is almost a given,
After Hippo Coma
Glucose is
Jumping to
Hipper.

So after being in Hippo
So many times
Through last
22 years.
I wanted to ask you:

Why did you
think
That war is just?
