Finalist in the 'Beyond Words 2015' competition

Greyness covers the rows of boys
As they lie together in silent rows
A string of skeletons
Their names etched
In the book of sorrow
The book of death
Violence their last memory
As they sleep in deadly peace
Ship the next bundle of boys overseas
And clear a space
Where their graves will be
In the ancient yard of misery
