Message came through the wire:
betrayal, hallucinogens and lies.
The walking wounded
attacked faithful friend
before shattering the war radio –
Line goes dead.
Shell shocked survivors
shake their heads in confusion;
refusing to give chase to
someone willingly / needlessly
running from them.
On the battlefield of life
in the trenches of drama
former lovers
behind enemy lines of friendship
crumble to Hiroshima ash,
seemingly destroyed
and unable to rise.
“Our armor was useless.”
“Our love was easily forgotten
in the chaos of bloodshed.”
Your madness is endless,
My sadness is friendless,
I will not surrender
to man who would end this.
On opposite sides
of a battlefield vital…
We sing different songs
which have similar titles…
Which share the same message
if not the same score…
Love is a weapon
in a time filled with war.
