Smell of death

as reality crumbles...

Half naked boy

mutters & mumbles

as tears well up

& erection sings loudly...

We hold him dear

& we smile proudly

for our child hero

is brave & embattled...

The world is what breaks...

what shakes & what rattles...

The world's light goes out

& we're left to silence -

We are the nightmare

of a world that dreams violence.
