This is What War Is Like

September 22, 2021
By Anonymous

Moving like a giant, time turning awfully slowly.

Blooming like a flower during the winter, cold, sad, and hopeless.

Expanding like hysteria and spreading like wildfire.

Scattering like ants from water, knowing it is not a fight that could be won.

Streaming like a flag, prideful and a warning.

Yelling like a dog who has been left behind, waiting for their loved ones to return.

Waiting like the first day of a new year, hoping that something good could possibly happen.
