-Children of War

It’s the children who rip at my heart
Tears of fear rolling down their little face
Looking to their parents for comfort
Silently questioning… what is this place?

Complete horror surrounds them
Petrifying chaos and noise
Holding on tightly to their loved ones
These poor innocent little girls and boys

No understanding of the death and destruction 
Why the safe life they know is gone
People running, screaming ,crying
To young to comprehend what’s wrong

The poor innocent people of Ukraine
Their lives and bodies destroyed for what?
Facing horrendous ,senseless suffering
Solely due to one heinous, heartless crackpot

As I write this poem I am crying
For the unimaginable despair Ukraine is confronting
What will it take to eliminate this evil ,vile b*****d
To stop him human hunting……
