Why Them?
Why the children
What have they done
They should be playing
Having fun
Not lying still
Bombs around
Bodies strewn
Across the ground
Mothers Fathers
Siblings dead
Shrapnell flying
Past their head
It’s not their fight
It’s not their war
Left there crying
On the floor
Confused, frightened
What’s in store
Please stop this now
Their cries implore
Orphaned babies
Left alone
Cry for food
No one home
Victims born
To a selfish nation
As Men destroy
Civilization
Cold and Callous
Filled with greed
Each side
Refuse to concede
It’s not their fight
It’s not their war
Left their crying
On the floor
Confused, frightened
What’s in store
Please stop this now
Their cries implore
Schools, hospitals
All destroyed
Limbless bodies
Fill the void
Women screaming
Hundreds flee
Sights that children
Need not see
Innocent victims
Kneel and pray
When will it end
Please be today
