Blasted Innocence
Dedicated to the innocent child Omran Dageesh the little Syrian boy in the ambulance.
Little boy in ambulance his brother dead
Covered in blood
Puts hand to head
It comes away red
As his innocence is bled
Doesn't understand the helping hand
Confused, bemused
Covered in dirt, badly hurt
Too shocked even to cry
He doesn't know why
Neither do I

OMG Tony! You have depicted this tragedy so incredibly touching! I remember when this news broke and I watched him and the other precious child being carried out from all the madness surrounding them. I noticed how he wiped the blood from his eye, then looked at it because he had no clue what it was or why it was there. He immediately went into child mode and tried to wipe it off on the side of his chair. That was such a heartbreaking moment for me.Talk about tears....my eyes were full of them.

Thank you dear Tara you are kind and I have missed reading you, too. I'll be back in a while but my fiction writing is taking over my life at the moment. Something had to give.
