what did her little body do
her soul asked
taken so abruptly so violently
don’t cry, papi, daddy
i now soar with the soul
of the Universe, at peace
it is you, whose body
must witness and suffer
the pangs of war
it is you who must
run and hide from those
who wish you harm
there are no tears
where I now reside
only smiles awaiting you
for all of you who saw
my limp and lifeless body
i need it no longer
do not lament for me
speak of kindness and truth
only this can garner
Peace and love
