Amputated dream

A nasty “present” for you, little one
You’re not aware of,
A nasty soul a mine has planted
By the gate of your farm-
You didn’t know…
Shrapnel take your legs away...
You've been amputated
To the degree of nonsense
And your dream of being somebody tomorrow
Fly past you unnoticed,
Motionless…

You were running after your dream
You found your sorrow...
…you intend to beat it…
