Sparks and Ashes

Sparks and Ashes A child was just born at Helmand BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! His soul flew "zero to infinity" BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! An old grandpa held a piece luck wile Eating out a crested bread; Grand ma beside, sewing a torn rugged apron; The daughter-in-law, for a shower in a bucket of water, entered; The son went out hoping, something to eat for night. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! Eying the land where living is a miracle; Dying is the only wish for wounded --no doctor no drugs. Angels are flying over head To take the souls rest in peace BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Live of leave your soul, for, the angel lurks In a land wrapped up with ashes and sparks.
