I'm shivering, naked, I'm amidst bodies on a cart All I remember is looking up awaiting the water Entangled I am seeing grimaced pinked faces And a solumn looking sky very close to tears Now discarded, left, sensing a sweet acrid smell Knowing the await, soon the others and I Time passes as I drift in and out of reality Then night...

Witnessed
Alone I entered chaos, don’t shoot, a mother screamed. All I knew as I responded, was a knife, and blood had streamed. My senses they deceived me, as his words resembled truth.

I Witnessed It
Horrible smash of broken bottles, Blood gush from young touts' bodies, Nauseating odour of marijuana, grass, Spoiled that Monday evening.

Imam's sermon bottled it till sunset, Final...

Premium Member Witnessed a Robbery
Witnessed a robbery take place yesterday As incredulous as this may seem Was sitting in the food court at the local mall Happily minding my own business When all of a sudden I hear this guy ranting and raving Slamming his leather bag down on one of the tables Marching over to the coffee stand Which had an assortment of sandwiches and...
