“the War Between Us” Poem by Sean Seguin

as rockets fire
near and far
I wonder – puzzled- in my quarrel

Would life be so neat?
So bright and shiny
So upkeep

Alas my answer has come undone
These things I ask are a touch away

Would you do for me the things you say?
Or rebel in my nightmares?

To be the one – the only one
Would be to much and never undone

I ask of simple pleasure
Those are not full of mad

To be happy instead of sad
For you I know this answer through

The rockets pour down
But the tears stay true
