Something Like War

The boy and the dog

wandering among the dead 

and the wounded

do not take sides

they do not care

about the enemy

in that moment

one takes a broken bar of chocolate

the other a bone

neither understands something like

false promises

something like

a war without a cause: 

in which death and ruins are

the only destination.

They can’t understand

that life is plundered by unawareness, 

self- destruction is no salvation,

and rainbows are not colored inside.
