A single gunshot
A single soul
    vanished
    vanquished

A single body
A single mind
    gone
    lost

How to tell the children
Papa’s not coming home
How to tell the children
Now we are alone

A singular sorrow
A blanket of pain
How to tell the children
Daddy’s
    vanished
    vanquished
    gone
    lost

One bloody bullet
destroys a family
that bloody bullet
will live in infamy


The author's comments:

The wars that are happening in the Middle East -caused by a lack of understanding and clear communication of governments- are causing great distress among families across the globe. I felt that the devastation of recieving the news that a family member has been killed needed to be put into words, and this was the result.
