What is too far?

   It's hard to place myself in a battlefield of corpses.

   

   Is it hard for you? 

covered

covered

covered

decaying stories

in the battlefields

suffocated by maggots

wrapped in a blood blanket

ultimately destroying 

changing the future

   Is war okay if you're not witnessing it?

   Could you ever bomb a whole neighborhood?

   sons buried

mothers buried

daughters buried

fathers buried

families suffering for years

skin holding

vulnerable and wounded

defend meaning

discard and dispose

That's someone's caring comforting companion.

    

   Would you point a gun in the face of your lover?

    

setting free the monstrosity 

releasing tension 

on the unfamiliar friend

  Would your child shoot another parent's children?

   

  Does it hurt when an animal dies as much as a human?

  

   polluted puddles of family

humanity

internal bleeding

consumed

traumas that hurt too much to forget

a part of you

Swallowing you whole

Can you bear it?

Could you bear it?

I don't think I ever could.
