All They Want Is To Be Children

I look at the faces of the children None of them are the way they are supposed to be They are sad They are crying They are in pain Children should be happy Children should play Children should not have to worry Yet these poor children have to They have to worry about Where their next meal is going to come from Whether they are going to be the next to die Why their parents had to die They don't understand what is going on They don't understand war No one really understands Why it happens, when it happens, where it happens There are so many victims, Yet the ones who cause it are not It is so hard to know that Children all over the world are victims They didn't ask to have this happen They shouldn't have to live with it Just take one look at them Some have no arm Some have no leg Most are dead They are going to have to live with this the rest of their lives If there was only something more we could do There is, we can help We can send aid Not join the war, but aid with the victims Help those who suffer Help those who are dying Just take one look Then you will see All they want is to be children
