Abstract Poetry 1 Minute

Don’t look away

I am the atrocity

The brunt of war 

Not the aggressor 

No lions roar

Scarred by human hands

A human being

Tortured for land

The latest regime.

Don’t look away

I am the prey

The luckiest of all

Not the hunter

No duty calls

Scarred by the claw

A human being

On the wrong patch of land

Last time being

On the wrong patch of land.

This blog is a multifaceted writing/journaling approach to recovery from mental illness and addiction. I am not a comedian but rather a rattled jewel of sarcasm encased in art. Health, humor, and love is what I seek under the umbrella of family.
