how

How is it so,
that humans are subjected
to such dissonant
violence
that churns the stomach
pondering the question as to why
because i do not understand
what gives people
the compulsion
to hurt others so.

Silence

Hearing silence pains much more than words ever could
Why does a lack of words affect us more than it should?
The absence of anything would
And I would change it if I could.
