IN SUN DRENCHED FIELDS
Front page war news,
discarded into the flithy
overflowing railway bin.
Grey wooden boxes with bagged
human remains bundled inside,
hidden away in sun drenched fields,
filed with photos and documents
of never imagined torture.
To add to the shock,
the next pages reveal
children burned alive,
hung from streetlights,
stolen at night
from their beds.
Their innocence denied,
like the storage shed of
UN aid supplies,
locked away
from the starving.
