War by PIPROM(op): 10:35am On Nov 20, 2009
Boom boom I heard,
I shuddered
And swallowed bitter saliva.
Big vultures
Flew over me,
My heart bled
For brothers in war.
I lay and longed
For peace,
For retreat to homes
From refugees' camps,
from war fronts.
And I slept
And dreamt
That wars
Were no more,
As I woke,
It was only a dream.
