Samanyan Lakshminarayanan - Innocent Dead

HEART TO HEART
clasped and cuddled
the mother and baby
lay there in dust
no music heard
their heart never bate

the picture in newsprint
amidst a shamble
an attack from air
oh god death you give i thought
is war..your new weapon
loads and loads of innocent dead

Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
