Sixth Day:
(When Will They Go Away?)
Sixth day:
When will they go away?
How will they?
There’s a psychiatric term, ‘obsession’;
An idea that turns into preoccupation;
All-consuming: a fixation;
A dis-order in the law of order,
Powerless to hinder.
He (you-know-who) will not halt,
Stem, block or defer..
“The devastation? Not my fault!”
His strange position;
Signs of his untamed, condition;
His stained, strained condition.
Six days of explosions, sanctions, policies;
Ruinings, runnings, desperate fleeings;
Round the clock diplomacies,
Tact and sensitivities;
Inconsistencies, absurdities.
An oxymoron if there ever was one!
When will they just go away!
When will is there
To play in their own neighbourhoods and gardens.
