Attempt

When they declared allegiance Overnight, you would not know Who is by your side and who is not: You would not know If you are a victim or a culprit: Whether you are prey Or the hunter, When the earth threatens To swallow you in seduced heat A blast man made and just in time, It misses you by a whisker, And yet it's strength Is strengthened by the ones it struck; It is then you know That it was not just a game, The fact that you survived it means They have gone back to the drawing board: They are all condemning it, Among them are the ones who Certainly committed it, and cowards they are, They sing your slogans, Wear your regalia, your face they want to delete, That's when you know it was an attempt, Suicide or assassination; It is then when the victim Is the first suspect.
