Poem – Scarred (By Melissa R. Mendelson)
![](https://www.antarcticajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/poetry_generic.png)
Blood and Tears.
War and Hate.
Death and Destruction.
Hell and Fate.
I am dead
because I’m not you.
What you said?
Hate is not true.
Why cleanse me?
Are you blind?
We are brothers.
Open your mind.
Why ignore that?
It’s a fact.
We’re both human,
so don’t attack.
I pity you
with your dead.
A dark hating heart.
Bullets in your head.
