Killed a boy

Killed a boy

The killing of 
Children 
In war 
Age 7 
Fell to the ground 
On the way to collect wood 
To keep his family warm 
Sniper 
Took him
So cold in a 
Serbian winter 
Winter war 
War 
War kills children 
War 
Kills LIFE
Takes. A LiFe 
   A young boy 
Killed 
Gone 
   Forever 
     Sniper 
Killed a boy
