A Dog Named Ceasefire.

Ceasefire where are you
We’re searching franticly
Are you lost in the carnage
Cowering timidly,
Are you under the table
Where leaders lavishly eat
Is your hunger subdued
By the crumbs of conceit.

Ceasefire are you hiding
Afraid to bark or yelp
Trapped and wounded
Desperately seeking help,
Are you a hostage
Under lock and key
Or on a golf course
At the nineteenth tee.

Ceasefire are you trembling
With fear in your bones
Petrified by missiles
And kamikaze drones,
In the theatre of war
Death and severed limbs
Do you lick the hands
Of smiling assassins.

Ceasefire we keep dreaming
That you’ll return soon
And release our hearts
From the prism of gloom,
Hope is the rainbow
We fervently chase
Ceasefire you are the jewel
We long to embrace.
