A WAR RAVAGED BOY DREAMS ON
A
blood streaked girl dashes with a child across the rubble.
An
emaciated cat and an orphan huddle under the sky
The
world immune to their trouble.
A
ten year old boy, bruised and battered, lies on the hospital bed
His
worried father’s hand on his head.
He
clutches his dream to his chest, and smiles through his tears.
A
plane flies overhead, in her heart the mother suffers a pain fierce.
“I
will soon get well, and become a doctor to heal the ailing humanity.”
He mumbles, a tiny face breaks into a
pained smile
Outside the hospital ,
alas, unrelenting inhumanity thrashes and bludgeons humanity.
The child smiles
And smiles.
The parents watch beguiled.
