Those Eyes Saw

Slaughterers marched into the alley

And a sudden sigh caught his sleep Sharp cry and running steps

All he could hear through those ears

He went till the window

Rest all those eyes saw

A bloody holocaust of infants

And the foots of giant slayers

For a moment tears blurred the scene

He grasped his breath to see the rest

Cry of a child of fear

Scream of a mother for her son

Everything was covered with blood near, watching the devastation the town went

Fear empowered his little heart

and an arrow pierces the boys head

His mortal remain rests in my arms

And a moaning silence spreads all along
