COOKIE DOUGH CHILD.

By Sahara DeVille



There is shrapnel in his skin,

So deeply embedded it is now part of him

Picture it, if you dare,

like pennies pressed into cookie dough

That's somehow more stomachable, no?

 And the doctor is dead, under a pile of rock

And medical supplies were kept from the truck

That wasn’t allowed in anyway.

I would, if I could, but times are tough!

And nothing anyone is doing, is even nearly enough.

And the world stands by, desensitised

Watching another modern disaster

More genocide.

Please, please, let it sink in.

There is shrapnel in childrens skin.
