The Son Of War

What future awaits



to this verdant boy,


a son of war?


Who will serve


as his strength


if at this moment


his father shed blood?


Who will light


his stoney path


if his mother catches


fireflies at noon,


spitting saliva


at the passers by


on the sidewalk?


If tomorrow comes


and you'll see him


marching with rifles


as if an expert


of killings and war


but never did once


pull the trigger,


don't be shock bro.


It was his fate


to make you feel


how tiresome it is


to gamble and fall


until the dawn breaks


on a bestfriend's wake
