weakly shielded from the invisible foe.
Conscientious objections made
to insufficient weaponry.
They battle on.
But what if one day
those same blue angels
use their wings to fly away?
Could we blame them?

such a beautiful poem – and such a very frightening use of the metaphor … a very serious thought for the day …
