With tears in his eyes
the child looks up.
A red sky at night
but this will be nobody's delight.
Ablaze it cries a crimson scream.
A wail and a crash.
In another lifetime
a dream away,
this would be
such a pretty scene,
fireworks and colour clash,
but here this rain of death
bleeds down upon them.
The child hides
as the sky menacingly howls,
the growl of hatred.
The child alone.
Has seen what no child should see,
what no human should ever witness.
His family...
All
Gone.
The air moans.
Alone…
The tears burst
the swollen banks.
Another sound...
Tanks.
The child runs for his life,
muscles pulled taught,
a groaning guitar string
being tightened and tightened.
The tension now unbearable,
heat burning every tendon.
Heartbeat heightened.
Too frightened to think.
Too frightened to feel.
Just another night
under the red sky of fear
that in another lifetime
would be just a nightmare
but here is all too real.
