and the milk cow dies
Hungry, a child cries
On battles rage as the village
burns ‘neath blue skies
Bloodied, a child cries
A mother, taken, weeps
from beaten, swollen eyes
Frightened, a child cries
Hatred grows, terror is loosed
Humanity lost as the arrow files
Orphaned, a child cries
A child grows with no hope
eating only hatred’s lies
Broken, a child cries
Hatred puts a gun in a child’s hands
While the world cries
And the child dies
