Strangers

There were strangers at our door
Had we wanted, we could have prevented
Madness from presenting war

But they pushed as I saw, 
You did your best to stop

No illusion now my dear

They are real, 
Harbouring fear.

Rest for a while 

Come close
I promise in Heaven we shall hide and lock the door.
