The Horror Poem by jerry hughes
The Horror
Her naked body peeling as she ran
mouth wide open, screaming in fear and pain.
This image of a Vietnamese girl-child,
an innocent victim of a a napalm attack,
made the front page of newspapers
all around the world.
Still the war sent on.
Children died.
Mothers grieved.
The photographer won an award.
Your poem was inspired by an extraordinary photograph. Irony aside, the photographer in question also took the child in question to the hospital and saved her life. Passionate words. Powerful piece. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
