Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

Feeling the dripping blood pouring over my rotten soul.
I hear the sounds of gunfire, shattering the hearts of those who had hope.
Smelling the dirt, whisking around the soldiers looking for someone to kill.
Tasting the tears of happiness slipping away.
I see the sunlight surrendering through the hands of lost ones.
