A country invades another country
While civilians flee to the hills for
Their lives
Children’s ears are pierced
By the sound of gunfire

A young girl wearing
An old - filthy
White dress
With long blonde hair carries her
Teddy bear in her left hand while she
Walks hand in hand with her
Father fearlessly - As if they're
In the clear-
When a man
Standing in a moving jeep
With
An Ak-47
Shoots the little girl’s
Father in the head-
The little girl's
Father falls to the
Ground as blood pours out
Of his crown-
The little girl
Falls to her knees over her father-
& She holds onto her
Father's bloody head for the last time-
She screams, 'Daddy! Noo! .. Daddy? ! '
Her dress is
Stained
Red-
the jeep passes
By the little girl
As the shooter
& the
little girl lock
Eyes-
She would never
Forget the look in the
Killer's eyes-
She clings to her
Teddy Bear
For it is all she has left
To take
Care of
Her in this hopeless world-

A powerful write. A scene tragically often true in our otherwise beautiful world.
