..

Headless bodies
burned flesh
smell of decay
A wedding band
on a slim delicate finger
Shades of memories
a future that can never be


A lonely head in a lush green field
eyes wide open
In the hollow a reflection of
untold love

Mountains of starved children
shiny bones
flesh torn off the bodies

Shocked and awed
by the images of mothers
miscarrying their unborn children

Shocked and awed
by the silent fear
countless civilians
dead dead dead

These are images
we should put in a frame
Mount them in our homes
so we never forget;
the true horror of war
