A Troubled World

Even the wind has taken
on a different shape
as though we were
trained in inconsistancy.

The anger of
a thousand years
continues
but it can not touch you

it can not touch you.

We know the potent
anger of our years
that we have never felt.

Innocence is no shelter
we know your face
we can look you in the eye
and speak
violence;

between one other
we intimately know
the language.

we search for enemies;
the pain of heritage
ebbs freely
our pain is the legacy
of our race
the blind violence
of previous years

My thoughts
which drive me forward:
Never again

A troubled World indeed. I find myself constently trying to battle its many forms. Young as I am I lack the power to take the fight to the enemy itself.

Potent poetry, celestecat. It makes me think of the middle east conflict or the problems that were in Bosnia, etc. History and its wind. I feel it.
