remember

by George Hoerner

the sound no longer comes
either his stomach is quiet
or he is too weak to hear it

8 years old and nowhere to go
parents gone
and all the others

it almost doesn't matter
for he will die soon
the flies know this and swarm

even the sun is aware of his plight
burning hotter than usual
allowing no water-bearing clouds to form
trying to hasten the end of suffering

absolutely amazing

MURDER MURDER
everywhere
and nowhere to hide

TURKEY TURKEY
everywhere
and not a bite to eat

Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I think you should take the "explicit" off of this and let it sear all eyes. I agree - "absolutely amazing".....
