BANG
A gunshot dances
Across the October breeze
Bringing remembrance
of a battle unseen.
Dense fog surrounds
The unravelling dream
of animals charging
towards their enemy.
One pig up front
Scans the scene
Turns on his hooves
Exclaiming, "Long live humanity!"
Now aiding the enemy
He's marked a traitor
Receiving wounds in turn
For working with the instigator.
But the fog slowly rises
Revealing the truth
of the scene imagined
That persuaded
The brutes.
The pig in the front
Fought without harm
He never abandoned
The Animal Farm.
False words
Turned a nation
Against their own kin
Who knew a revision
Could cause such an end.
The past is the past
And should never be altered
Don't let a lie
Cause you to falter.
