A poem about loyalty and lack of it

A chapter in the book Miscellaneous Poems - vol 3

At what cost?

by CD Richards

 
In dismay,

those ordered to retreat

obey, as they have been trained to do.


Discarded,

yesterday's friends question

what commitment and loyalty mean.


Blood-red sands

proclaim their betrayal

as those they trusted leave them to die.
