Jul 2016
Unsteady at the brink of history
Unfeeling hands
Conflicted thoughts
The brother of my brother
My brother
Hates me

This is not my city
This is not my neighbor
This is a stranger
Heart full of anger

Wavering close to the ledge
Eyes can only see so much
We can see the end
Only so many steps
Can we take
Without looking

There is no holy war
Yet wars are raging
In the name of god
Seeking blood

Falling bombs
And silence
Explosions in the street
And silence
Bullets
Death
The religion of peace
And silence

Its a battle lost
In silence


"Guide me now
I'll be not afraid of darkness
There is no God but he
The God of love"
