In the aftermath of violence
The wounds run deep and wide
Leaving people injured, and some never really heal.
Pain that cannot be recovered.
We can go to Violence and tell him to stop it.
Sometimes in violence, there may be a light of hope, for healing.
Trying to heal is as if it were a journey.
And sometimes when it comes to healing
it takes time.
What we need is kindness.
it will come to us.
It may seem long but trust it, it will come
and when it does our hearts will become strong.
May we stand together and tell everyone
“Violence is not the thing we want in this world”
and hope we create something to stop violence.
The thoughts in your mind
make it feel like it will never stop.
We do not know when it will stop
but it will soon.
And we can do it
together.
