A voice in a parched, crocking whisper cried, "Water"
A boys half clod eyes
Dirt streaked his face and his matted hair
Uniform glistening with wet, fresh blood
With carnage colors grotesquely bright
Ripped grass shreds in his yellow hair
He begged again, "Water"
spurts of blood (when he spoke) drenched his chest and sleeve
Water trickled on his lips and down his grimy chin
The boy sighed
Jaw dropping as his head fell back
Dull blackness slid across his face
He was silent
A boys half clod eyes
Dirt streaked his face and his matted hair
Uniform glistening with wet, fresh blood
With carnage colors grotesquely bright
Ripped grass shreds in his yellow hair
He begged again, "Water"
spurts of blood (when he spoke) drenched his chest and sleeve
Water trickled on his lips and down his grimy chin
The boy sighed
Jaw dropping as his head fell back
Dull blackness slid across his face
He was silent
