Little Boy Poem by Haruna Garba

Little Boy



Here was the little boy
Brutal, vicious boy
Here was the little boy
Hatchet boy
Boy compunction bereft
Here was he pampered
When barbarism an infant was
Here was he brandished
Whose taste still a theory was
Here was he full of fury
That on Heroshima unleashed

Little Boy
