They Don'T See the War

They don't see the war. They think it's ahead. They wait for it coming and live with the dread. They won't try to stop it They think it's not here. They think it is coming from others they fear. They do what they're told to They trust they are safe. They live for their government and all feel the chafe. They think it is progress. They won't soon improve. They think of no changes and live in it's groove. They say they can't fight it They won't try to help. They think it is futile and all live to yelp. They can't live together They won't see the other They think they're alike till differences smother. They come to an ending they can't understand. They all die together in war hand in hand.
