A Senseless War

Senseless war
The suffering poor
Bombs explode
So much charity to unload

Refugees flee
Casualties they will see
Hiding in stations
In harms way
Such a cruel nation

The rockets light up the sky
In the distance a child will cry
Another nation must intervene
A shocking outcome will likely be seen

Widows grieving
Assistance receiving
A terrible fight
A long suffering night

Crying mothers
sisters mourning brothers
A senseless war
What's it all for?

All because of one deranged madman in the Kremlin. He should be tried for war crimes. Tom
