under

a dangerous world

where you learn to

survive

watch close

listen intently

for a change of mood

colour on a face

tells of anger

that precedes

the violence to come

under

the slightest pretext

subterfuge created

from an easy lie

claiming provocation

from today from history

anything

to hide themselves

& put everything

onto you
