Children and Wars

Children did not ask to be born Parents brought them in the world They did not ask for war But war devoured their loved ones They roam the streets Empty of life Empty of future All alone But life marches on Without feeling Without tears

So true.Nobody ever asked to be born yet everybody is expected to take it up the chin as if it's their just deserts. I will say it again that as humans we are the least "woke" of all creation.
