31

a war began

A congregation of of liberty against a riot for religion

virulent words defy all magnanimity

encapsulating a rift cloaked for the perpetuation of childhood

presently wielded as a threat to developing maturity

the war is a serene affair

causally terminating the strands of sanguine juvenescence

erupting into vindictive quarrels at the whim of the aggressor

Conscious existence turns to orchestrating an impenetrable shelter

An equilibrium of fulfillment and walls remains beyond reach

but the fingertips of joy grasp a semblance of family

Blood attacks blood, seeking a violent shift in relationship

The sanction of friendship articulate new family

and presents an option for exultant survival
