Litan Dey Poet Free verse

A Boy From South Libya

They will spark again
Drums of war will sound again
Mom! Put off the lights,
Hide me in your arms...
I can't forget that painful night
When He left, the bitter fights.
I am sure, Mom...More night of fear is close.
My love, I am afraid! Give me a sharp sword!!
I never fought and did never want
Today I have to, to save my laps
My friends and brothers are killing each other
I have to stop them
Mom! Open your eyes
I know they will hold me
They would not wait to open up my lips
Wait! mom, we will leave together!
Where is my little sis??

John Pen June 20, 2014 at 1:59 AM Sharp swords will never solve anything. My advice is don't fight fire with fire Litan Dey June 20, 2014 at 10:56 AM You are right...a little boy don't know what is war and why it is but he know why is sword for. Though he can't fight, for his safety his little wise feel sword may safe him. By the way thanks for your compliment
