How deftly
Wielded
With
Surgical precision
A
Penetrating
Betrayal
Was
Exacted
Each
&
Every time
The
Psyche-based
Homeland
Security
System
Was called
Into
Action
Cleaving
My
Own Heart
With each
Misguided
Swing
Ancient
Reptilian defences
Battled hardened
And indiscriminate
Activated
Again & again
Churning out
Collateral damage
Oblivious
The war
Is over
No one
Sees
The pain
That generates
Such fury
Though
The carnage
Is
Unmistakeable
Whether
Worthy
Of Grace
or
Not
Never
Would
It find
A more
Suitable
Recipient
