Shattered Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

Lying in my fxhole.
Having srvuved mchie gunfire.
Running back from no mans land back to trench.
You've fired a barrage of resons fo us not to love each other.

Bomb after bomb.
Campaign fter campaign.
You've only brought me ears and pain.
So many days of bombing have left myeyes shatered.
My body brusied and battered.
My ears are bleeding from your personal war.
And i'll no longer seek peace.
Scars and shrapnel.
Hurt like your words.
i'll keeping fighting back your curela nd unjust war.

In this war of love and peace.
I'll love myself and hope you gfive up.
And build yourself up for someone else's heart.
