Rewritten by spars

13 January 2024

Wars are waged

against the other

Relentless

terror raged

Helpless victims not fleeing:

the child and mother



The world skids

unparalleled turns

Spirit takes

what it yearns

for downtrodden mind’s dismay

stays being of clay



I feel night

mining my insides

like acid

eating skin

It feels like giant within

with murderous strides



The blood pours

over my feelings

It oozes

through my pores

my body a map of scars

rewritten by spars



Reading of the poem: 

I Didnt Know – Karima Nayt
