A child of war
Nothing more
Just a boy haunted
By gunshots and bloodBorn and raised
with shut eyes
And wrought-iron fists,
Scared of lifeAlone in the
Land of your father
With broken dreams
And lost memoriesA tri-corn hat
Without love
An empty dinner table
With cold dishesNothing's right
Just year after year
Of pain and tears
And absenceYou blame genes
For your chains
And your fear
And lonelinessYou wish
For the warmth
But, given none,
Set your own flameForgotten
As you raise yourself
From ashes,
A child of war.You miss family,
You do.
But they let you down
RepeatedlyThey ride on wings
Of opportunity
But you fall from the sky
A modern-day IcarusIn hues of orange
And yellow
Do your eyes dim
As you plummetHe cared more
About his country
Than he ever did
You, his sonHe cared more
For land than you,
While your mind raged dark
The skies remained blueA child of war
Nothing more
Just a boy raised with
Bombshells and heartbreak***
