Trauma
Penetrating brains
Tiny tendrils
Of invisible roots.
Establishing a network
Of fear
To be set in concrete;
A mesh of terror
Frozen
Into circuitry
A compacted image
Of horror
That can never go away.
Every explosion,
Every death,
Every word,
Spurt of blood,
An electric shock
Searing minds
Forever.
Opher – 3.3.2022
Another generation traumatised by war. Images, thoughts and sounds locked inside minds, surfacing as vividly as in the instant they were formed.
War, the destroyer of sanity.
