The elements of war,
strife of one
who has suffered
at the hands
of ensconced destruction.
Tragedy leads
to crimson hues,
there is no human
dignity – it’s released
into a Sarlacc Pit
of injustice,
lack lustre demise,
and sardonic
anguish.
How do you
think you would
feel in the underbelly
of a metallic screeched
scream?
Eyes close
and squint, while
Dorothy repeats:
“there’s no place
like home.”
Sounds so cliché
to believe hope exists for anyone
— this is not a simple
innocuous
concept.
Bombs going off
over head on a long drive
through Syria to escape civil war.
I don’t understand!
I don’t understand!
I don’t understand!
Why?
Why is annihilation necessary?
There exists illumination
etched in the visibility of air
and auditory of thought.
A guided hand scribes
on word “hope.”
