When He Left

Left leaving dollar dreams still unsigned, Inscrutable a smile well behind, His soldiers staying put, With arms and army boot, Borders still disputed, ill defined. ____________________________________________________ And yet, the expected hundred billion dollars were nowhere. The pressure on the borders was especially mounted, and no talks on settlement. What earlier was 100 billion dollars has now shrunk to twenty over five years, all pledged and loosely promised and subject to conditions galore. He left leaving us guessing and on tenterhooks, gulf at the borders staring still as before. ____________________________________________________________ - Happenings | 15.09.14 |
