Collateral Damage
The primary target has been destroyed,
By a surgical strike designed to leave
Blasted and charred ruins for those who grieve
To pick through, for all who couldn’t avoid
Being reduced to statistics, a body count
On the evening news. Strategy is clear,
It’s the brutal diplomacy of fear,
Leaving far too few remains to amount
To complete human beings. There is concern,
International stock markets are falling,
With speculation, futures are stalling:
How many losses before fortunes turn?
The enemy is easily identified,
Being those barbarians on the other side.
