War as Wealth
written by: Kt Owens
Stars drowned the earth
in their suffocating cage.
They watched with mirth,
things more horrible than rage.
Hatred and screams
swam about them,
like unwanted dreams,
from unloved men.
Old men sending out boys,
Handing children a gun.
Treating soldiers as toys,
Repeating history for fun.
Do not think of the glory.
That is your teenage son.
He will be only a story,
When the war is done.
I use poetry and other writing styles to navigate the odd mixture of feelings that comes with being a lesbian in a generally less-than accepting area in the world. My works discuss subjects such as family-issues, mental health, recovery, and general life.
