Sunbeds and Sandbags

Sun bed positioned,

to achieve an even tan.

Sand bags stacked,

to protect the lives of man.

Body armour and helmets,

against invaders’ guns.

Instructed by a mad man,

to kill the mothers’ sons.

Parasols and palm trees,

to protect us from the sun.

Beach towels and sun cream,

enjoying a shot of rum.

First aid and body bags,

for a war no side can win.

Death and destruction,

where happy laughs had been.
