HONOR in Death ? Disgraced victory. Lost life...last breath... still warm on soft lips. Glassy eyes cloud. Tears fade away. Trembling fingers touch a face. Cheek bones... those dimples, that nose oh, the chin. Eyebrows...long lashes, what a BEAUTIFUL face. Close the lids slowly. Tears fade away. TV channels change. Mothers CRY and embrace a lifeless body. Child of crossfire... NINE maybe TEN. A gang. Then blame. Retribution takes place. The broadcast continues, another innocent LOST. No time for FEAR... Neighbors on watch. Reports - information policeman in blue. LOOK in the distance, an I D is made. STOP POLICE ! Dogs on the Loose ! Suspect caught in midflight. News Flash...ARRESTED. Praise the Lord, Hear our prayers... keep our children SAFE tonight. Warm breath on soft lips the TEARS FADE AWAY.
