Sober

Sober

A Poem by Xena the soon to be 9th grader

Packing..gathering....
Being sent away.... this is soon to be a lonely soldier.
People crying '.. happy,sad......confused
"Why would you do this" crys an angry mother.
My child how can they take my child...
Pulling, yanking driving away..
Sober screams, sober shout
Gun powder in the air
Spies everywhere
No trust... only blood.
Blood soaked through the ground and connecting
with water
Liquid.. they become as one.
Tears fall death all around.
Screams and war shouts.
Prisoners  and politician
Money and power consumes this world.
War for this money and war for this power
Then that retch  letter comes.
Were sorry but we've lost your son
Here come the funeral...the the eulogy!....
this great boy...... NO this great man was born to lead
He died for his country strong and proud
Sober crying...then angry shouts
You stole my son you tricked him
And know he's Gone
You sun of a guns'....GONE
you here me G-O-N-E...
Your words cant replace this pain
And there that poor mother lays
White all around...voices too
Whispers eyes observing...her!
as if she's some specimen
OH..they think shes gone mad.
But she thinks they've gone mad. 
In her eyes shes perfectly fine....Their the ones who've gone mad
All she did was lost her child
And they try to sober her crys
Wicked this world is.....
