The Killing Night In Kenya

THE KILLING NIGHT IN KENYA Lush green fields cushion diamond skies-- Cattle rustlers burst through night Machetes swinging like a game Mid spring blooms whose scent delights Rifles slung like children’s packs Hug shoulders that should lie abed Blood trails flow moonlit from stealth feet Leaving sixty sleeping people dead Victoria Anderson-Throop 12/30/12 © Death week of 12/22/12
