The Calmness of Silence

A land mine silently lays dormant concealed on the ground When suddenly, hysteria screams EMANATE from all around. A boy innocently was playing is SWIRLING through the air He had triggered that mine not knowing it was there. SYNTHETIC fibres in his clothes had melted into his skin A life changing journey for this boy was about to begin. Nerves message an ILLUSION that his legs are still there Which sends him spiralling into a depression of loss and despair. His bones and burnt skin slowly heal over time Though RUSTIC his movements, it is a gruelling cruel climb. The rehabilitation seemed TIMELESS that heavily wore him down Anger, frustration and depression, this young child is starting to drown. Time eased his nightmares which gave him some peace He learnt a new way of living and changing life skills techniques. Time passed by quickly, BLOSSOM again bloomed on the trees Teaching his new focus, he gained all his educational degrees. An ambassador for peace and for areas where children can safely play Educates the dangers of mines and how hidden they lay. His voice is not silent when maiming children through violence. Let there be peace and harmony, the calmness of SILENCE.
