Civil War

When civil war 
is knocking at your door
Isn't it up to you

to stop it
or allow it
to grow inside your heart

and grow inside your life

and tease your evil side
until you also die

like all of those you let die

Powerful words to make us question. This is the essence of poetry. Well done
