Reflections of War


As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I look right and left. To find my surroundings sky high of bodies, and I wonder why. Far off into the distance, I can see it, The Resistance. Why must we fight, it is stupid. But then I realize who they are, how ruthless. I want to live in a world with peace, Where my people are not brought down to their knees; Decapitation… something I see every day. Tow; the sound of a gun crack no longer bothers me. I have learned to live with it. I want to see my family again… that will have to wait until the next life.
