Children Of Uganda - Repost Poem by Debora Short

Children Of Uganda - Repost

Rating: 3.1


Agony Clad
In black wreaths
Little soldiers…once
Tiny bright-eyed legacies
Now, torn, mud-covered
And cold
Their silent tears
Of
Hope cruelly stolen

You have it to the very core. A fine write. This is the kind of piece I like to read; and you do it in first-class, WAKE UP fashion.
