ARIEL

Looking for a tunnel
to hide in
not to
  shoot from

roll mines
into

looking for paper
to write on
got no pen and ink
have to use
my finger

and the blood
seeping through my skin

heard an interview with
a veteran
 
touched my heart
              switched sides

he moved to align
himself with humanity
     away
          from war machine

no use to them now
                    at all
                    at all

lost his tunnel vision.
