Confused Loyalty

Confused loyalty


1940 German occupation
British planes
On the night sky
To find the U. boat base
They didn`t
But dropped their bombs anyway 
Puny bombs
Burning buildings
Dead civilians
I was sent to a farm
Near a German base
Soldiers became my friends
As the war ended
I was home again
 In time to see
Women dragged out
 Of their houses
Had their heads sheared
Confusion for a boy
The soldiers were my friends 
But enemy of
The Country
