quakes and wars


suffering
needless
and so many times preventable

How many more sick beds and refugee camps and trenches?

the rain pounding down
I close my eyes
I can see row upon row of bodies crushed and burnt, bloodied and feverish

one day
no more limbs lost
no more wounds to dress
no more diseased organs and debilitating illnesses
one day
heaven
