War
My Nana was always quite rude to the Japs...
I wondered about it- was this just a lapse
Of good manners on my Nana’s part?
A sign of racism deep in her heart?
But as I grew older in me she confided
The memories of war which in her still resided.
The way the Japs treated her kin was a crime-
Her sore indignation not fading with time
But expressed on occasion, relived in her dreams,
The war is not over for Nana it seems.
