Cuckoo War

their land is not your land

you have no right,

if there is to be a battle

so be it, stand back

let the brutality begin,

it cannot be your fight

you do not belong in it,

the people will decide who

will win their hearts and minds,

if weak, they will be controlled

before slowly, steadfastly

they will discover a strength

their land is not your land

you have no place within it.
