Human

A poem I submitted for a writing competition which earned a special mention…I had to recite it! *fear of crowds*

Why do we fight?
Why must man defend himself
Against Man?

Our history is a Holocaust
The present is a condemnation
And the future is a sentence

Conflict, clashes, chaos
Confusion, an enemy
Crime, an affinity

Human against human
Heart against heart
Blood against blood

The reign of Terror
The death of Man
The extinction of Integrity

A pity, such a pity
How we must save ourselves
From ourselves

A war never ends
It is ruled by fear,
And we are fearful creatures
