The Metaphor of War

               

The abstract that is death looms
As the drones instigate torrent booms
The sounds of unpredictability resonate 
As many continue to fail to placate 
The evil, the inhumane, and the impertinent 
Shrapnels terminate in homes as they dint 

Hope shatters while the glass windows disintegrate
The toxic fumes disperse and so does hate   
Mothers cry and children shriek, as  adults do too 
On TV screens conveying what’s fallacy and what’s utterly true

Buildings fragment; they crumble 
Two “armies” in my city rumble  
Halting our lives while fighting for theirs 
And the Libyan social fabric tears 

The love for war ends life
Whereas the love for life ends war
Life and war are intricate and they’re what I have to endure.
