The Conscientious Objector

The Conscientious Objector
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson

He was willing to follow
His rage to war
While I bring mine
To march with signs in the streets.

He mistook bearing arms
For strength,
But the conscientious objector
Keeps their humanity.

For him, the hell will never end.
He can’t escape his own fortress
Like I did.

Therein lies the difference,

Read the rest of the poem Show less

And draws a line between
My side and his,
Doesn’t it?

He saw me as something
That he had any right to wound.

And I saw that anyone
Who would do this
Was already wounded.

"This poem tells a tale itself,but, there is a gap between what was proven to be false and the girl who wins at the end. You may need a few more lines to connect it all I loved the overall theme and word usage. Thank you…"

"the ugliness of truth, is so hard to accept, that one tends to reject the very thought. A "hard truth" seen in the windows of the soul, can destroy the notion of a beautiful world. The only thing I see to criticize, is…"
