From woods and fields, on roads and streets,
through walls, roofs, stairs
An all-out attack on V-Day,
V versus man.
Fire ants, flyers, drivers, cutters
for ground, sea, air.
Overrunning, overcoming,
world-wide, as planned.
Timed to the hour and minute,
none of us spared.
I spoke to God and Devil,
waiting for reply.
I whispered into both ears,
having seen two sides.
I told of men and women,
of youth and of age
Of joy, love, goodness, beauty,
and their counterface.
Each question and emotion
met with silent dread.
