Help Me...

Help Me...

A Poem by Destany
"

Help me is about the innocents that end up dying in the wars.

"
I crouch, 
barefoot and crying 
on the forest floor. 

These people are vicious 
with their metal guns 
and green uniforms... 
soldiers. 

Help Me. 

I have a family, 
two daughters and a son. 
My wife is gone, 
Taken by these men. 

Help me. 

One man points the metal gun 
towards me. He laughs. 
Speaking in another language... 

One i cannot understand. 
Help me. 
Smirking, he says something else. 
Then, he pulls the trigger. 

Hel-

it has always seemed odd to me, in certain circumstances, how innocent civilians choose to ignore the armed men that hide among them...don't they know what will happen?

some suggestions
I would edit out the word metal, replace it in one place with weapon perhaps?
and soldiers, it's not needed, green uniforms tells us....
another language, i would change that to foriegn tongue?
