this plain of death
corpse-strewn
stone lonely
smashed objects
broken by
abstractions
what painted this scene?
decisions made
by ample men
in clean rooms
faraway
good reasons
bad intentions
abstractions
orders given
and followed
a soldier
slumps among
the bodies
abstractions
stained fatigues
silent rifle
dead eyes
wondering
how this happened
and who they were
and why
abstractions
no answers
boy, man,
executioner,
victims
abstractions
killer or killed
life will not
go on
