Specks of Dirt Over the Landscape

They come, they go,
The demons of their souls
Its falling like snow,
The ashes of their bones

Trudging on through the snow,
Is a little boy in black,
No more! no more!
Scream the sniper shells now buried in his back

The crowd sees naught but all,
Silent screams echo off the walls
The haze is back all around,
Ready to run another aground

BOOM! Sounded the rifle,
And the air shattered
Blood drizzled the sight,
Like pastel colours on white

Neither a sound made,
Nor a whisper heard,
The shrieks of the fallen slowly fade,
The butcher walks inside; no regrets, no guilt
The dead have no pain
