just_writingabout posting a pome on here - as have not really showed much to people before. But really want honest feedback - say it like it is please.
I wrote this when the war in Iraq started.
How do I express the inexpressible?
bear the unbearable?
change the unchangeable?
Death is too small a word
killing, murder, war are all too little
to express this scything devastation
this senseless, ceaseless, brutal thing
on a scale too vast to comprehend
brought home by the tiniest of details
A roar to shake the corners of the earth – my inarticulate rage
A scream to shake the stars above – my endless sorrow
A flower, tiny before a tank – my fragile hope
