Wounds

I don’t need the commandant
I don’t need the rank,
I’ll go through the days myself
I don’t need the tank.

I’m fine without being bulletproof
My legs are working fine,
I won’t be taking the command
I’ll just take what’s mine.

There won’t be any enemy
I won’t breach any borders,
Let them have their sovereigns
I don’t follow orders.

It’s not even a country
Not the way I see it,
I don’t live in that state of mind
For those who do, so be it.

No room for annexation
No victory through force,
These contracts aren't worth the ink
Neither is divorce.

There’s no victory in wounds
Or bodies on the floor,
No resurrection or repair
Nor what was there before.

My first book, Myshi Moo and The Frightening Face, is out on 25th July 2024. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever read. You can pre-order your copy here
