By Nicholas Martin
He stumbled into our home
covered in blood, dirt, and dust
we all just stared
not knowing what to do
he sat down at our table
I ran into the kitchen
threw together a quick meal
I used the last of our rations
so that our freedom fighting soldier
could enjoy his last meal
he ate it all, not leaving a crumb
and went back into war
the same way he came in:
just a scared little boy
