Undesired Warfare

My senses long for peace

By Grace Kusta NasrallaPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I hear the sounds of death echoing in the distance.

The scent of shattered remains, even from afar.

Disgusted by the tang of gore and militia potence.

Avoiding scenes of scattered flesh in fear of a scar.

Oh, for an urge to practice compassion...
