The Slaughter

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

Author notes

This poem was a found poem that I did for a class project, it is from The Giver, written by Lois Lowery from chapter 16 (I think, and I think I spelled her name right). But this is my first poem that I posted (by the way I'm Ichigo. The boy (just in case you were confused) so don't get us mixed up)!!!!????!!!!
