they say no one

Quiet came at last

a calm no one wanted

field strewn with the

wreckage of this last

moment.

Why all of this

screaming came and

went no one seems to

know and no one seems

to care.

The battle cry

of artillery pounding

against the walls

babies crying seemingly

without sound.

Now They won't cry

any more, won't hug

any more won't kiss

any more.

No one wanted this

they say, no one deserved

this they say, no one

should have died they say

no one.

They say no one.
