No Winners

Post by Brian mclaughlin » February 26th, 2016, 9:15 pm

War
cities destroyed
roads covered in blood
trails of the dead
soldiers
civilians
children
no-one remains untouched
nightmares haunt those who survive
the last man standing
wins nothing
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

and yet the thing continues

the word is a trigger
for a million feelings

like a little child
i wish someone could make it 'go away'

utter truth, winners are losers in the end, the costs are incalculable
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
