like toy soldiers

Battle wounded soldiers crowded in a tight space

No air to breathe, no gasps to take

In an open space of echo chamber

Obliterated by might; thoughts surrendered. 

Guns ready for doubts, bombs ready for questions

Distraught, hurt; awaiting armageddon. 

Fighting for a piece of land of a flag

Hunting for a prey not unlike him.

One world, then where are we?

One soul, then why can’t we see?

The pain in their eyes; on the cusp of defeat

Victory in one hand; hope for someone to understand them in another.
