Emotional song about a casualty of war.

Stonewall "Stoneman" Towery wrote, produced and performed everything on this recording.

The idea for this song came about during an emotional PTSD therapy session I recently had at the Veterans Mental Health department. I was told to write a letter to the little boy that I had found dead from a land mine over 50 years ago. The image of his remains has haunted me all these years. So I wrote this song in order to honor and respect the memory of the little Torso boy.

Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody, a land mine had blown his life away.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.

A long time ago when I was in Vietnam. We went on a mission to confirm a strike. When got to the village, the sergeant told me to check the perimeter and there I saw worst scene of my life.

Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody a land mine had blown his life away.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.
i started to cry because little boy couldn’t have been older than seven. I reached down and confirmed that he was dead. I covered him up and said a prayer that he would make it to heaven and then I stood up and walked away

Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody a land mine had blown his life away.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.
Poor little torso boy laying on the ground with no legs and bloody. I can’t stop seeing his face.

I can’t stop seeing his face, I can’t stop seeing his face! x

Story Tellers
Some stories are hard to tell but have to be told for closure on horrific events people witness and also to let the wider world know what cruel things happen in war. Aside of that, this is a really well made song and extremely moving with an engaging performance by the writer Stoneman
