The dark sky lit up for miles after miles
Flares of light shrieked across the skies
The bombs rained down
2 million tons
Pounded the ground
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clueless villagers raced outside,
Thought it was thunder, lightning
Destruction, death met their eyes
Loud cries rang out, lost in the boom.
It was someone’s war
Laos, the beautiful, no more
Her people, her land, scarred, maimed,
The casualty of war.
