The Warlord
Caught between the line of doing what's right and what's necessary;
Like walking in a crossfire without shield
With bullets running on every corner of the field.
The enemies are not in the trees or in the field,
They live among us, beneath our feet.
They are not a fantasy we fantasized
Nor the nightmares we have.
About this poem
Wars around us, the personal ones and the collective ones.
