Wounds to Heal

Nations are just people. Right?

Collective thoughts in aggregate

Bordered by rivers, mountains and seas,

Shielded from those not of like minds.

Held together in common cause,

Taught from youth the ways that are best.

Given to sermon on heritage, on

Cottage and hearth, the things that bind.

 

Bested in battle, subjugated,

Bound and bonded to second class,

Steely hearts seek to turn the tide,

Unaverse to the letting of blood

If it need flow in a river of red.

So, let it be for the greater good.

The victor will decide what is right.

All in the name of brotherhood.

But who will heal the daggered wounds?

Who will rise to stem the flood?
