Friends and foes
Exchanging blows
Beneath the dappling leaves
Surrogate sunlight shines
‘Neath false bannered pines
The raider’s fleet, it reaves
These blows we see are common
These blows are sword and fist and pen
Winners emerge and so you see, the populace receives
A series of lies and doctrines
New ways to hold one’s head
When foes and friends are left for dead
Which side really wins?
