Flags hanging at half staff
Children laying half dead
Goose bumps invading my unwilling skin
Soldiers invading an unwilling country
A girl telling her mother no
A woman begging him to stop
A little boy crying over his broken toy
A girl sobbing, her body and soul broken
Water gushing from a fall
Blood gushing from an innocent bystander
Grade school students protesting their weekend homework
Girls protesting for their right to go to school.
The juxtaposition of life.

Soldiers invading an unwilling country

A woman begging him to stop
A little boy crying over his broken toy
A girl sobbing, her body and soul broken
Water gushing from a fall
Blood gushing from an innocent bystander
Grade school students protesting their weekend homework
Girls protesting for their right to go to school.
The juxtaposition of life.
