Bread in the Time of War

I can name the metrics of violence: Bullets, bombs, blood shed Blast After blast Echoing in my head You tell me I could measure love too But I don’t know what to count You said count the loaves of bread

I can feel the emotion in this one. I am wondering if this person is in a war-torn area or just looking on. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Sara K

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
