Little Hurts

The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

What
Hurts me?
Cavities
Algebra class
Cramps, infidelities
Wars that spill blood, wanton and crass
Set clouds ablaze and clog eyes with tear gas
The Fight kidnaps fathers, ruins sisters, pours dots
Into sheep, sadistic ballistics pass
Through fields of flesh, slashing plates, glass
Partitions and babies.
Wasted landmass
Idle bees
Bodies
Rot.
