Rifles clanging to padded armor,

The screams of kidnapped people

The cries of burning victims,

The woman remembered how she lost her family

They were running in the streets of an unknown city,

Her mother was shot clean between the eyes

But she kept going as she held her brother’s hand

The soldiers picked him up like a plaything beating the woman in the process

And took her away in the blink of an eye

She didn’t know where they took her

But all she knew was that they intended to harm her,

The pulsating sounds of horns pierced her ear drums

And molested her cerebral

Everytime she cursed them, they sounded the horns again

They sounded the horns until her conscience seeped out of her mind

Until she couldn’t think anymore

Until she wasn’t herself no longer
