A poem about smoking
Defeated in a breath
.
We have defeated you
the lone crusader
there is nothing
left
.
I see the smoldering ashes
45,000 dead
in a ambush
that took decades
.
We took the adults first
moved up to the children
we are not discriminating
anyone.
.
My mother, father, sister, brother,
grand mother, friends, Family!
all taken over
given to the ashes
.
buried alongside those who have fallen
with brave hearts
and stronger wills
then those losing themselves
.
I haven't lost
myself
in the smoke
and fire
.
