A small, mousy haired boy
Wearing the sad mask for sympathy
Walking along a gum, fag end ridden street.
Hand outstretched
A whine to his words
Words falling off un-sympathetic ears
He will be victorious...
...Rarely.
The scabs and scars a reminder that
He is like a soldier fighting an
Ongoing war.
Broken soles and muddy trousers
A reminder of luxury.
A short lived luxury.
A forgotten lux...
