Humanity in Hell

Is war hell?

That’s not even a question.

Pain

Bullets

Death

Or worse-

Despair.

So how can hell be humane?

Through the care

Devotion

Love

Shared moments

And hope…

Hope that doctors bring.

Caught between a rock and a hard place,

The ability to be human is incredible.

Yet it lifts up everyone:

Receiving love…

When you show hate,

Having someone care…

When you don’t,

That is what humanity is-

When conditions around you are terrible

You fight back.

You give hell a black eye
