Horror Of War

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 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
