Mogadishu, Somalia
By Roxxi
My dad was killed in Mogadishu
Air strafe bullets punched,
Murdering the October day.
Issue greens drenched in blood,
Soaking the sand below.
Crash sites rain service bodies,
Littering a land not their own.
Victory has some ugly spoils,
Belittling a populace through lenses.
My dad was killed in Mogadishu

I served. I’m sorry you have to feel this and lost so much. Please find if you can pride along with everything else.

This is very vivid and very sobering. I like nothing about the imagery or what it represents but the way you write it pulls no punches and leaves its mark on my solar plexus. I'm sorry for the loss of your father.
