Held hands bewildered at what surrounded them
shocked covered in thick dust
could only hold on to each other both survived
the huge blast that killed so many
children that did not understand such carnage
or how adults had such rage!
In their short lives had only ever known destruction
warfare that took families forever
born into the putrid odours of death cries of anguish
that never ending wail of mourning
funerals and standing by grave sides of loved ones
and choking smoke filling their lungs!
Now they were alone their home and parents murdered
as a missile struck their only sanctuary
while both outside the explosion shattered many lives
parents and grandparents a brother to
lost evermorer being so young just could not understand
as together stood hand in hand!
