Hidden

Published by

on

Peace is hiding under the ruins

between the children’s innocent laughter

and people’s hopeful dreams.

It fears the song of the bombs

and the touch of the blood

that like a vast sea

moistens the ground in deep red.

In agony, its soul shatters

under the war

into the unknown

and thus, it flees

at the farthest corner

of the Earth.

    This is a strong and sad image of peace lost in destruction. War forces peace to hide and escape.

      It’s a very gloomy dystopian poem. I watched too much news lately.
