broken swingsets
litter the crimson stained
sandboxes.
smoke cleared
only to reveal
kid corpses.
hatred once concealed.
the fight between
the foreign child -
darkened hair
beady eyes.
and our very own
pride and dream
personified -
lightened skin.
blondish hair.
quarrels over
swinging rights
escalated
clean into childish spite.
now two premature
bags of bones
to be buried
in the wake of
a playground war.
poorer souls though
those survived
later we'll just
give em guns
and watch them run.
