Reasoning

Why do you give them false reasons to believe you, 

When we all know what you did?

Why want a war, the end to so many lives?

For what?

Land you don't need?

Land you want, that others cherish as their own?  

You loomed over their country for years, as many tried hard to ignore you, 

A forbidding shadow eventually causing grief and panic. 

No one believes your reasoning. 

No one ever will.

    when I was thirteen 

    and scared of real life

    I gave out advice like candy

    showering my friends with hope

    and watched them grow 

    like sunflowers 

    out of a cold, dark earth

    We lie tired

    On the pleather seats of the bus that feels like home. 

     

    You rummage through your red lunchbox, 

    Unpacking each item carefully
