An Image*
Captures me in its eternity.
Dark Hollow eyes burrow into my soul,
An unforgiving stare that pleads no forgiveness
But asks only to forget. Why
His ribs jab into his skin. Why
He is too weak to play outside his own home. Why
His sister has to wash him and feed him. Why
His phantom arm cries out in pain.
In anger he yells and screams
For all the loss that he only knows.
Why
But his voice is nothing against
The sirens of blaring propaganda
So he can only stare,
Dark hollow eyes that burrow into my soul,
Asking only to forget
*Inspired by an image of North Korean boy
