They took him from her breast
His screaming and distress caused by a single tooth trying to come through
Soldiers bursting through the door just exasperated the problem
The men in arms showed no mercy
Slit her baby’s throat in front of her
Even with this pain, there was a sliver of hope
She still had the twins who were nearly four
Twins should be safe
Should be, but weren’t
They looked smaller than they were
Saul, sweet Saul came to check on his mama, and Micah followed
No questions as to their age, just heartless murder
Rachel cried out in sorrow for there were no more
