At Twenty-Four

Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal

At twenty-four
I went to school.
I had it easy.

The sadness inside
my heart and mind
was from a love lost.
I had no friend.
I lived in darkness.

I had no beasts after me.
It wasn’t so dire.
I felt fucked-up,
but I could still be saved.

There are words
and there is truth
and lies. I never
faced the ugliness
of war and battle.

I escaped the crime
of war and what it
did to man. I stayed
home and went to school.

I did not seek a gun
and uniform. To each
their own and I don’t
judge. From where

I stand, I remain alive.
I went to school.
I had it easy.
