Broken
The worst word
It’s like when a child says to his mother
That his toy is broken
The word means unfixable
A lost case
A hopeless word
When a girl cries
For her heart is broken
It means not repairable
A broken household
Where neither father or mother
Can be found
Where a child can never be just a brother
He must be the man, when just a boy
It means destroying a life
Broken, shattered, crushed
They all mean the same
Brief words of destruction
We might not know it but
We learn it simple
And it gets more complex as we grow
Toys, hearts, body parts, even lives
We might not know it but
Destruction is a common word for war.
It’s so broken it can’t be defined
