When “what have I done”  finally sets in.
You’ll never be on board
for any war again!
Traveler 🧳 Tim
Good people die in wars.
I placed my hand on an orphan's head
and said, "Don't cry.
If you cry, your mom will cry too,
from heaven."

The child wiped her tears
with her ripped-off sleeve.

I kissed her forehead
and said to the Creator,
"Let me know, please, what you feel!"

We humans
We love to compare and contrast
But
We often forget
We don't all have the same denominator
Their circumstances
Human gods are feeble,
They need fights to make them stand.
To give my worship,
I have chosen the god of animals.

Strike a match
Light up my brain
Nothing will ever be the same

One word and a forgotten ache

Starts to burn

One sentence and I wish I

Could've learned

So many mistakes in life

Such a disgrace

I see a name and feel such

Overwhelming shame

Forcing my brain to give in til

I'm going insane
Do I need a reason
To love you
Should I need a reason
To cherish you
Why must I love you
Only if I have a reason
Why can’t I just love you
Without any reason
Such as being a good person
Or having good qualities
Without any impurities
Why can’t I just love you
For being you
I just want to be with you
