Poetry: World War II

The shadows sit in silence,
waiting day to day,
their owner not invited,
to make one pay.

The shadows sleep forever,
not moving one inch,
the shadows a deathly reminder,
of one deadly pinch.

The shadow an aftermath,
of a war not long ago,
an explosion of sound,
with green poison snow.

A war of the world,
as some might say,
is in many books,
yesterday and today,
known as World War II.
