They that eat the land
leave nothing but scraps
for the dead, they that
spill the blood of ghosts
have small compassion
for the children the wars
have left, they that absolve
themselves for all they have done
and blame those who strike back
after all this time, excuse
tyranny and death, as if they were
wind in the grass. Peace and stillness
may be the image of our sleep
but be the freehold of our peace.
