the war raging on every shore
land mass invasion what else for sure
there are to be casualties what else is war for…
not surely the greedy ones on the hill
by the treasures’ doors?
God bless the heroes
who deny the truth of what occurs in war?
God bless the innocent who live
their lives hidden behind closed doors –
that is until someone comes in barging and breaking
every possible piece of wood on the door –
then in the aftermath those left, hate even more.
What a debacle you have on your own shore
when all these uprisings begin to own who or what you are
and have done in the name of liberty, democracy
or any other name applicable to dose war upon the weak?
I say democracy given that we are to be having one
is a misnomer for the belligerent
and ignorant of our own kind,
the culturally indoctrinated, poor souls like mine.
We are the weaker for having to stage war
for we are the frightened as a child in a movie
being scared by the big bad wolf.
Who set our behaviour at a violent pace of demand
where the innocent are slaughtered
and we all clap as if some form of relief?
What have these innocents done to we?
What are they doing now in their humble homes
fighting for breath among the pollutant
you dropped in drone upon drone.
They are the innocent without a word of a lie,
you I am afraid are weaker than the fish in a pond
being fed all these ridiculous lies.
What does make you special, that of a flag held high
when all the world around us despises us
and want us to stop the warring raging everywhere.
They are the outcome, we are the source,
what is it about us that makes us so very much worse?
God help the innocent,
the ignorant have imposed upon them all.
What sort of a nation are we here
crying out all this liberty and democracy
when at home we are to have absolutely none at all?
–
The truth is we are in a war zone
we just do not know as yet – streetwise that is!
