Bother

My mother tells me not to worry I'm young These things shouldn't bother me But they linger At the back of my mind Deep in the thoughts that I sometimes express ISIS is getting larger Beheading, burning, imprisoning Any one they see fit Christians, Muslims, foreigners Children, women, the elderly Brave men and women who fight them everyday It scares me To be staring into the unknown To be on the verge of what could be world war three I'm not ready for any of it But sometimes, You have to suck it up and fight for what's right.
