Childhood memories


I confess: I’ve an addiction 
 To the rural countryside: 
Having grown up next to a farm 
(On the edge of suburbia) 
The sights, scents, and sounds 
Of cows or horses in a field 
Remind me of the happy place we called home. 
But what about the children 
 Who grow up in a battle zone? 
Will they find comfort 
 In the sights, scents, and sounds 
 Of violence?
