Syria 2012

Tearing through flesh
Shattering bones
No organs spared

Beautiful child playing with her friends
A fearful confused young rebel
The baker trudging to work at dawn
An elder reflecting and ruing the past

The bullet has no conscience
No memory
Only an inevitable path

Why?

Michael Newman MD

Kim Merryman Date: 8/27/2013 11:30:00 AM You captured the futility and tragedy of war so well. It's bad enough that we lose soldiers, but when innocent bystanders get caught in the cross fire it's even more tragic. Well written. Love, Kim
