Sandcastles

see how they flood with tears

moated

tides of man

hopes, fears

the same the world over

 

but there is so much sand in this bright land

and grit,

determination to split

and exploit a divided nation.

 

So let's play with bombs

instead of spades

look down like children,

let's be Gods!

 

Rip up the sand from our castles

in the air,

behind our moats

nothing's changed

yet more devastation.

 

We can be sand devils

from safe distances

aiming at differences

 

let's drop the big one !
