The secret war everywhere and yet the enemy is nowhere

The secret war with many near deaths and yet still alive
 

The secret war with intense fear and horror, yet no sound of bombs
 

The secret war with many wounded, yet not with bullets and knives
 

The secret war that showing up in glamorized faces and tan bodies
 

The secret war that showing up in the poor and rich households
 

The secret war that is heard through screams and cries in private
 

The secret war that is played in the heads of adults and children when alone
 

The secret war that has no earthly survivor
 

The secret war for the sake of growth and discovery
 

The secret war that is reached a temporary truce by numbing self
 

The secret war that is lived through by love, acceptance and faith
 

The secret war where foes and friends are one
 

The secret war that is participated by all and yet denied by many
