My life is a constantly
Changing, yet similar
Venture
In a constantly
Changing and degenerating
World.
I don’t feel safe,
And yet I am numb
To news of soldiers
From my country
Losing their lives to war.
Three years ago, I had
No idea what it was
Like to live in wartime.
Now I am all-too-familiar.
War numbs everyone.
Attack makes people
React without thought
To the loss.
And the chaos that has
Come upon us
Makes us want to hold
The children in our lives
Close -
For fear that we might
Lose them in a fight
They should have never
Had to fight.
