for SugarCube's Mini-Slam
A territorial invasion
swept through swiftly in the night;
The miscreants stole into me
And took what was mine,
What was me.

In a single instant
A shimmering veil fell
From my innocent eyes -
Corruption and deceit lay before me.

I cannot get back what was stolen,
And an emptiness remains,
Yet also a feeling of betrayal,
A violation of my trust
In mankind.
