The Danes

They have dealt with this
before-
in a previous century
aggression
invasion
occupation
bent on torture
demeaning
dehumanizing
less than
you know how it goes

-they have dealt with this
before-
don’t assume they will break
they did not break
when Christian* held the crown

Dear sweet Greenland
they will not break now

*Christian X King of Denmark from 1912-1947
