Penknife

Yesterday,

a young man 

left his farewell letter

asked his brother 

to console his mother

and took his last selfie.

An hour later
he was gunned down

with bullets from the enemy

for carrying out a stabbing attack

with a penknife

then he was left to bleed

as they stood shaking, twenty feet 

away from his withered body.

Today, the street was cleared

for the entourage of the leader

of the country he thought

he was fighting for 

they rode armored vehicles

The wheels of which 

crushed over 

the young man's spirit
