Instruments of War •Poetry•

s k e p t i c

've heard so many tell me that they loved me so much over the phone,
through letters,
sonnets
and poems.
But I tell you this now,
do not be fooled by this form of seduction
Look them in the eyes and study the reeking desperation they have to claw out the next reason to hear your voice like a prayer
It isn't enough to have read wars and destruction
if you do not see the art that comforts the disturbed
