Hide and Seek

war

They creep menacingly over the border
And come charging into our land –
Thus begin their savage hide-and-seek games
With guns, gadgets, grenades in hand.
One party goes hides in the caves
Or hastens to the shadows of the hills;
The other gets into sovereign jets
That hover over us and roar and kill.
We watch the debris pile onto the land,
Our bodies scatter across the streets,
But they play their hideous little games –
Their conscience corrodes, their reason depletes.
They’re uninvited -- yet the transgressors
Continue to prey within our precincts.
We’re exhausted by their unruly rituals:
Their drone attacks, their suicidal instincts.
