Depraved
War machinery is a depraved trade
Camouflaged with a sauce of
peacemaking and humanitarian aid
doesn’t make it less vicious
Humanity’s decay
After all,
A moldy bread
adorned with marmalade
still remains a moldy bread
Torn
Broken, being no longer
in one piece
Torn, pulled or ripped apart
in pieces with force
The dictionary explains what
my body and spirit already knew
Culpable
For being true
to myself
as I destroy you
