only pain and war
the sound was
the opposite from a war
that raged like a thunderstorm.
instead, it was peaceful.
it was flowing.
he stood, letting the cold waves
say hello to his feet.
he was shaking hands with peace,
as he pressed the conch to his ear.
/
but he did not want
to shake peace's hand,
for it did not have
the love he lost so terribly.
peace said that was its price,
but pain and war at least, had his love.
he tossed the conch of peace away viciously.
(for only pain and war were allowed).
