The Boy


The Boy

He was a quiet little boy
In a dirty dusty town
So deep in his imagination
As he played upon the ground

He dreams of knights
Of castles and kings
oblivious is he to
the reality of things.

He is hardly aware
Of the distant sounds
Of gun shots and explosions
Pulling people to the ground

Oh to stay within his innocence
But that can never be
The years were cruel and quickly passed
Making sure that he would see.

That he too had to join the fight
Like his many brothers before
In his heart he was reluctant
But to change he knew was for sure

Otherwise he would betray them
That would never be allowed
A fighter he would become
Then he'd join the baying crowd.

Then into battle he would go
Learning how to kill
In his heart he hated it
He knows he always will.

But choice did not come into it
As a bullet took him down
The boy, now grown to the adult man
In a dirty dusty town.
