DEDICATED TO VICTIMS OF WAR



 
Photos of the fallen

To look in the newspaper
And see someone that you know
Used to be fun
Not so very long ago.


 

Now I look in fear
Lest I recognise
A boy who is staring at me
With death written in his eyes


 
And now from face to face
My eyes dart and spin
For in a country as small as ours
Every boy is our next of kin
