its her birthday today

she turns 16


there is no birthday party

no birthday cake

no pretty new dress

no friends

no gifts in pretty packaging


she hides with others

rummaging through garbage

in tattered rags

family all dead


its just another day


happy birthday to me


ask her

about peace
