Sweet Face
He used to have a sweet face
A young face
He had blue eyes
Had black hair
Loving family and friends
Always laughing merrily
Then in a simple discharge of powder
In a conflict nobody understood
There was no face that could smile
Even if it wanted to
He could not laugh anymore
Black hair red
Blue eyes closed
Family let down a coffin
A small coffin
