*With love for the works of J.R.R. Tolkien
What evils lie behind that stare?
What suspicions underneath?
Adventures unfolding will lay them bare
unravel the facts from grief
Memory and what's written
never do quite match – for
historians cannot convey with pen
how agony lingers after war
One man says to the other one
“All is well, now we are united,
for now we share a common
purpose and shall be uninhibited”
The other man is wiser, though
He holds his tongue decided
For more than any one could know,
does he: how easily men are blinded
