The visitor smirked
laughing at the people’s dissent
they paid the ultimate price
after giving consent
It came so swiftly
many were snug in bed
no one could have imagined
where they were being led
A world of confusion
filled with deceit
a daily struggle
trying to find something to eat
There were many
who chose to fight
gaining some ground
searching for the light
The visitor thought
how silly the people were
to think they could defeat
an issue with no cure
There was another visitor
one who stood on a hill
who smiled with hope
there would be no surrender of will
Darkness and light
a continuous struggle
only one can win
putting an end to the trouble
Each visitor leaves
there will be another day
the sun continues to rise
as the visitors go their separate ways
