WAR

The dark night,
Her eyes still so bright.
Sky full of star
And Oh the moon's irreplaceable borrowed light.
Disquieted heartbeats
And suddenly a bomb someway far exploded so bright.
A massacre so huge,
Not only the family, it also slaughtered her life.

The tiny hands,
sitting in her mother's lap.
Trying to wake her up,
Thought she is taking a nap.

Mommy is sleeping on the ground,
And Daddy might just have gone around.
I am scared for the sound
around is so loud.
Can't wake up mommy,
Cause she might be sleeping so profound.

It was so dark, but even the dogs didn't bark.
The 3 year old couldn't sense what this war has led her to embark.©
