Dangerous Games

More "games" of war leading to potential real conflicts.





Dangerous Games  -  02 Dec 15

Sabre rattling
Reaching for a crescendo
Dark days approaching
Not just because
Of winter

Winter of our Souls
As the world spins
Into another war
As the men play
Yet another
Dangerous game





Most of which are totally unjustified.

Darkening Hours

Sitting and watching the way some of the political war-games are playing out caused this poem to be birthed.





Darkening Hours  -  21 Aug 15

Watching the way
Some people
Play their strange
Little games

In the distance
Sabres rattling
Almost
Play a tune
Almost

Perhaps they think
It is a battle hymn
Almost
More like a battle dirge

Now the hours
Wrap around us
A dark shroud
To take us all
Into the night





Not a poem to enjoy but it really wanted to be written.
