Foreign Shores

Sun fades to red dipping beneath the western edge, far away the children cry.
Dark sky crawling east to west to chase it to the dawn.
Sailors drifting at the whim of the powers left on shore.

Fighting wars on foreign shores, no glory if we win.
Yet here we are; the melting pot; the cops of planet Gaia;

Drifting through the ancient seas, guns prepared to fire.
