A Boy From South Libya

They will spark again
Drums of war will sound again
Mom! Put off the lights,
Hide me in your arms...
I can't forget that painful night
When He left, the bitter fights.
I am sure, Mom...More night of fear is close.
My love, I am afraid! Give me a sharp sword!!
I never fought and did never want
Today I have to, to save my laps
My friends and brothers are killing each other
I have to stop them
Mom! Open your eyes
I know they will hold me
They would not wait to open up my lips
Wait! mom, we will leave together!
Where is my little sis??

Sharp swords will never solve anything. My advice is don't fight fire with fire
