Allies

DNA memories
Passed onward

Into human bodies
Without any choice

Tearing at synapses
Manipulating courses

We never had any pain
So no point of reference

To understand the violence
Except as insane affectations

How could Elders forbid
Intervention if they knew?

How could our warriors

Though no way to prepare

As I fell into the traps
Like anyone who cares

Are we of same intentions?

You who have conquered millions
While embattled I am still tending
