Come see this
Beautiful Shot
of Flowers, Grins
and Indulgent Meals
Landscapes and Selfies
Look at the Camera
Say, "Cheese!"
ignore those nameless
Running in the streets
Shot.
Shot.
Shot.
children
women
men
limbs
Concrete
and Shells
Shells of themselves
Shells in their skin
Flags Raised over
fresh mounds
of families
friends
lovers
kin
all killed.
For Freedom?
Religion?
Honor?
Stars and Stripes?
Conquest!
Cruelty!
Hatred!
Lies!
Come see
This Beautiful Photo
Tune out the War Song
As the Bullets
and voices
echo...
