know that i want this
bloodshed to cease
spirits offered by violence
to become extinct
i want it to be over
for the rubble to be homes
for glass in windows
for running water and electricity
mothers not to need to worry
cleaned stained red streets
i want children to feel safe
creating memories of joy
when they leave their front door
rather than fear
because of what they saw
just seconds before
explosions, gunfire
death
i want there to be life
and for dreams to not
be dependent on anything
except
love
