Savour the Lullaby
The world is unexploded,
but it’s waters are contaminated
with the chemicals of a war-plagued nation
which stain their tongues black and bleach their knuckles,
and combust into a strengthening desire for a legacy
of their homeland that now teeters.
Each belief grinds friction into the desert sand,
refusing limitation.
Inevitable Invasion.
No merciful maps or keys towards clarity were left
by their loyal armies;
nor were any heart-strong soldiers.
Through the forts of debris and shields of ash,
we could not find the killed or the injured,
only smell the salty decay of each victim.
He limped through the rippling mirage,
spitting eroding dirt and
flexing his bloodied weapons.
“I heard the victory anthem,”
he said.
“The enemies are dreaming.”
