The Contamination of a Rifle

By Kyla Oler

The disease

is spreading

everywhere

-

It now rakes through

the broken town

in search of small

children to grab

-

It takes ahold of

their bodies and eats

away all their flesh

It itches away

at their once soft skin

-

It practically rips

the eyes from their faces

and leaves nothing else but

a shell of what once was

behind for their parents

to cry and mourn over

-

Oh what a thing to behold

Oh what sorrow and what pain

Playgrounds become abandoned

Toys are thrown out to the trash

And the only evidence

of the children is their small

handprints on the art room wall
