Life Adds to Beauty
Location
The trees dance
The wind runs astray.
The birds hum
And the water sighs.
What could be missing?
There's nothing else
But beauty here.
No other signs of life.
Life is missing.
Where are my children?
Splashing each other in the creek.
Dancing amongst the tune of life.
Giggling
Pretending.
Existent.
Where have they gone?
Are they ever coming back home?
No, my lady.
All life is gone.
Where have my children gone?
Off to war madame.
War.
Death.
Anguish.
Hatred.
My children
They are gone.
Signed their lives away
With the flick of their wrists.
Why is war so ugly, madame?
Because they have forgotten...
Life adds to beauty.
