The Furry of Curry

The spice in the curry mirrors my anger. Angry of being a part of a race with no peace. The small bits of red pepper scatter Like the blood of the innocent. An explosion of heat burns my tongue Like the bombs do their victims. Innocent tongues… Who will never speak of peace Nor taste a meal again.
