Gunfire shots
Grenades thrown
Bullets fired
Broken windows
Shaky walls
Trembling ground
Men shouting
Friends crying
Teacher down on ground
Lying still
Red fluid gushing through his chest
No more of multiplication for today
I want to go home
To my Mum and sleep
But I can’t find my way
It is dark and hazy
I can’t see anything but smoke
My slate is lost
I don’t know where I am
All I see is people
Running and shouting
And I see more of them
On grounds, covered with the same red fluid
And I see my Father
He is running
Running towards me
A bomb explodes behind him
He is down
He is still
I shout my heart out
And I don’t hear my own voice
I don’t hear anything
Gunfire shots
Grenades thrown
Bullets fired
I can’t hear nothing
And this is all I remember
Before being taken with the rest of the faces I remember
And with those I don’t
To a place unknown
For reasons unexplained

Heartbreaking. There never are reasons.

Truth is mostly heartbreaking and so it is. Can’t get over those lines of yours.
Read multiple times, but each time I get a deeper meaning through it.
Truly loved it. 👍🏻
