Tears of a Child At War
The cry
of a wailing
child in the
streets,
The
gun
fire blazing a rhythmic beat,The scorching
sun roasts her body
like meat, Tear shots
gas rents the vacuumed
air as she weeps gem drops,
Life is unfair to the little one
Lost for a place to call her home
Shes stranded amid the chaos,
Her helpless soul only feels fear,
She strolls the streets tears cascading
Like a soaked sponge her tarted clothes are,
Held tight is her cherished blanket,
For the world is crumbling upon her feet,
She understands little of the deceit,
Now secluded under a building rumble,
Her arms around her body for warmth,
will she live to see another day as war the lengthens.
Shots are heard from a distance fear is instilled in her as her blankets falls to the ground
