forest fires rage
scarred world dons bullet-proof face
grass arrows pierce
water scorches open wounds
blood flows free into red sea

War benefits only the tyrants of this world… This poem speaks to me of the hurts of humanity suffered whenever there is conflict.

Sangeetha, this war touches us all. Your poem depicts the generational hatred carried over from generation to generation. The Russian people don’t know how to think for themselves… they’ve always lived under dictators. ❤
