I see pain in the child's eyes
Screaming silently with his mind
As he close his mouth containing his sorrow;
In his back, he carries his dead brother
Traveling miles from the danger of men and guns
Running away with little energy for the sake of safety
Looking at him
A river of sorrow flows in him;
With a gentle kiss of goodbye, a lifeless body descended
To the soil resting from the agonizing war
Through so much sorrow overwhelming his soul
This child's legs collapsed and touched the ground
Where river of tears never fell
But only blood from his lips dripped down
He bit his tongue to ease the unbearable pain within
As he stare blankly to the soil not minding the taste of blood
For he knew, his brother's body is now one with the Earth;
Then with little determination
He left, in his head held up
And with the sorrow of lost in his heart.
