“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.”

Calamity in my eyes.
Only God see’s the horror in my eyes.
They people remain face-less.
Some are deprived and are left faith-less.
Calm is what I try to be.
Tame the angered monster inside of me.
No smile underneath this face.
Can you see my expressions erased?

The author's comments:
This poem is about war. In the end no one truly wins. Why do people insist on having so many enemies? Why must the greed of mankind be so blinding? Who really wins at the end of the day? That I don't know, but I do know who loses. All the children who are left motherless or fatherless. All the women and men who are left spouse-less. Who ever said war would bring peace never lost someone they loved by the war.
