The Jaws of Death

SEnciso

Free verse
Survivors have escaped
The jaws of death.
Living to see another day,
To speak another day,
Sharing their experiences with the world
Or keeping them within themselves.
For the atrocities they have seen
Cannot be described
Or understood.
For a survivor has escaped
The jaws of death
And lived to see another day.
