War is on the horizon
and I can see the smoke
even as I smell the chemicals
that killed those children
who lay side by side
in death at the machinations
of their government
I can see the tanks
hear the engines of
drones close in
to strike with weapons
just as lethal
and I know that there
are more children
on the way
to a burial
ground.
