Why

Why

 

Was it something that they said, they wore or waved or what they maybe

thought they did ..

Or the colour of their skin, or eyes, now largely hid behind those

individual lids ..

Not to mention that bloody awful shell-shocked gaze, now staring blind

and vacant from behind

those tailor made and inexpensive wooden frames, forever gazing upward

and with tears

still streaming down each side toward that smoke streaked sky ..

The title haunts the mind even after reading this strong read. It leaves me thinking of what exactly inspired this. I mean I know whats it's about in general. I mean the title is a powerful question. Poetically penned write.
