War is everywhere

 War is everywhere

Conflicted air

Listen their blood curdling screams for mercy;

Their hearts are hollow, blistered, raw and cold.

The howls of protest for peace

And dense echoes of tears

Of your people and my people and our children

Go in vain.

Now stop – listen; this is not an order

But a plea

Listen to the silence;

The silence of morals

And disregarded, taken for granted
simple sound of laughter.

Laughter falls.
CRASH!

Plates
Pieces
Us

Our anger
strikes and tears through the skies
like thunder,
petrified, the trees  shake vigorously.

Agitated, the seas daggered waves crash ardently.
Irritated. Do you know how many times I’ve contemplated
about pushing you in the deep end, the you push me

Look at us; so angry and so lost.

There you are, inches away;
stroking the gun that is sat bored in your pocket
ready to shoot out those prejudices that refuse to remain at bay

Unspoken words can be so stale
I think before your hit
BAM!

Piercing
… here
ruby oozings
cascade down my arm.

Figuratively.

What I would do if I were:
brave; strong and not pathetic

I really don’t like me

And neither do these poisons
that swim through me.
They’re ready to storm!
They accumulate and cultivate!
Hastily build up their defences
and equip its army
and ATTACK!
