Crimson Death Poem by Laala Kashef Alghata

Crimson Death

Rating: 1.0


Shock. Horror.

A fresh wave of grief.
One shot. Two shots.
Two people. Dead.

Blood.

Bodies left for the shadows
to indulge.

Death:
metallic,
bitter.

Anger and frustration.
Those soldiers had no right.

I cried a river of blood;
in this goblet, a few drops,
crimson.

Mr. President:
Drink.
