Children
Hungry bellies like boulders
Scrabbling peanuts in the dust
Licking lambs' blood from each others lips
Coupling in burned out shells of cars and storefronts
Clutching at coins and scrap metal
Walking with guns as tall
Ripped to shreds by shrapnel
Hiding behind momma's knee
Scratching at fleas
Aflame, inspired by the promise of bread.
