The winning side (W) crossed the river (R)
and took the fridges, the tv sets, the CD players,
the electric power-tools (and much else)
from the losers (L), their neighbours,
whom they had butchered earlier.
But the electricity sub-station (E)
was a long way behind the losers' lines,
who now live in a different country
which soon will be in the European Union (EU).
The Background (B) :
during the Second World War (WW2)
side L (fascist) had massacred
thousands of men, women and children
belonging to side W (anti-fascist).
Numbers multiplied in the re-telling.
'And so it goes.'
