Nicole StanleyMs. GardnerHonors English 4th7 December 2014Collateral Bombing

War is nature, brutal and cruel, and people of the town are ants,they scatter like light through a prism.A rainbow of fear,through their credulous minds.

The bombs on the town are raindrops,relentlessly falling,creating a sheet of death.The ground wet, with blood.

The deaths of the people are petals,forgotten as they fall from the rose.They are sand,on a beach of death.

Although the soldiers memories are elephants,weighing down on their thoughts.The vision of collateral bombing,squashing people like insignificant ants.Yes the ants may be innocent,but in the end, whos side were they on?
