The worst wounds July 30, 2014

  

There are no easy victories in this war of words waged on pages that are no longer pages made of paper, although the devastation remains clear, the wide range of abused branches set to flame in the exchange, the painful turmoil only exaggerated rhetoric can bring, wounds forged so deeply and with such rage that no stitch in time can made them heal or at least heal correctly, leaving twinges on gray days we must endure until the skies turn blue again. No one win when both sides stumble away with wounds this deep, inflicted with the most terrible weapons, no knife or bullet, but with sharp edges of what we call love, and it is far too late to surrender, the damage already done, a treaty managing merely to halt the hostilities, not mend what has already been done, war of words more debilitating than an atomic blast, radiating into every park of the anatomy, especially that places we previously derived pleasure from, the worst woulds rising from where the hear once found surety in.
