Reach for the Sky
<p>I bear witness to the sound of silencing<br />
As young men fall lifeless to the ground<br />
The aftershock of rounds bounding across the veld under the veil of night.</p>
<p>My heart breaks for their mothers.<br />
<em>There couldn’t be survivors</em>, the silence says and…<br />
These are kids after all. Forlorn, but nonetheless kids.<br />
Yet to grow into men, but in which direction?</p>
<p>Reach for the sky young men.</p>
