Senseless Destruction

After it exploded, death felt corroded, the ruin landscape, abandoned corpses on the street, shoes ripped off their feet, women crumpled in blood stained garments, small shapes of children in pieces, scattered everywhere, with the remains of chill and fear still haunting the air, brooding silence, everything uncannily still, everyone died and war had its fill, soldiers on the front, their bodies picked to skeletons by the vultures on the hunt, senseless destruction, was its corruption, death simmers, life glimmers, as it dangles from a rope, senseless destruction because there is no hope.

So since my baby registered with the selective service today this one hit too close to home. He was born the day Desert Storm started and I can still remember the feeling of having a baby boy that day. Of course now it could also be our girls as well. Vivid writing Frank.
