Life, interrupted

third world country's eyes through a poet

Sand

Rocks

the soccer ball being kicked.

the laughs of the children, that play with it
The elders and parents
that sit. under the tree
They've lost much

they say this is all they have
they too have lost many
their ...

mothers

brothers

sisters

         children ....

this is what they call a death sentence
needing your help
but you dare point a finger,
which is all you can ever do
and point out their inconveniences.
As You never support them

the screams

the gun fire,

hurry they are coming!

they hide in fear.

as the little boy cook
stands there and see's
in
black
and white
the

red
blood

of his grandmother
the
white noise

 of his mother screaming
shes being

 raped

in their hut
the
 white flags
his people want
the
black shots
of death..

see his grandmother
on the ground
marks from the mens knife

the chaos of his people

as he looks back at what was only forty five minutes ago
he wonders

what happened! ?
how can they do this! ?

The village getting
 
smaller
                    and
                                 smaller

he sees the men that
                   killed
his people,
and
  burned
his neighbors. down

this is what
 he calls being saved

this
 is.
all
He
knows now

this
 is
what he calls ....
A
Soldier Boy
who is
 lost

wondering if his friends made it out
this is ....

life
Interrupted

[Dream Weaver]

Sadly breathtaking, hurt anger hopelessness death all in ruin.
Brilliant writing on such tragic atrocities....

[Charles]

One day peace will rule, let's just hope someone's alive to know it...

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

devastating what mankind has wrought upon his brothers~ a powerful and moving brutally poignant poetic that takes the reader head on and makes him/her see the casualties of war in three dimensional anguish~

[Robin]

the atrocities , the hopelessness , the turmoil , all felt ..
