Poetry – Jacob Gittins

Like You Like Me

We are the same, even when we play a different game.

Fire never put out flames

Do ideas not shared mean they aren’t valuable?

The things that change.

Sometimes the least important acts are the most important.

It’s important to focus on what you can see rather than trying to protect for what you can not.

The story of how letting one weed go can turn into a nightmare.

Sometimes, those country songs hit right, in the hardest way.

Sometimes, one cup is just not enough.

What is war? Why is it necessary? Is the cost worth the reward? We don’t get answers until it’s over.
