Over there somewhere

Battles raging all around.
Drones flock to the sky.
Brave humans marching on.
Off to war. Off to die.

Green lights steady in a row.
Patriots under god on high.
Honest souls with honest hope.
Behind closed doors families cry.

Superintelligent superpowers
plotting, planning, seeing all.
Bombing, blasting, indiscriminate.
Doing anything not to fall.

Guns plodding across the land.
Carefully a path they pick.
Footsteps disappear into sand.
Hearts stop. The ground says click.
