No Cover Of Darkness Poem by Dorsey Baker

War
You big bully!
You dirty dog!
You dark demon!
You've come
Taken the lives
Of millions of people
Bombed and burned out
Destroyed house and home

War
You big bully!
You dirty dog!
You dark demon!
Your heart
Is made of stone

Power is your weapon
It feeds your hunger!
Your blood thirst!
It satisfies
War
You big bully!
You dirty dog!
You dark demon!
No cover to blow
Because darkness
It has no disguise
And emptiness
It has no eyes!
