Crying Shame

It upsets me how cruel people are in this world today
pictures show baked in dirt crying alone 
Having grow up tainted with killing and brutality 
in the streets bombs going off
Earth shattering noise as the ground trembles 
one feels a shaking underneath 
Scared out of your wits 
the effect it has on children
poor innocent little souls 

If only they knew
being born into this selfish cruel world
it would make the hardest heart shed a tear 
the scars forever remain 
It leaves such  damage
governments they all claim not to see 
Everything is all controlled by mans greed war war war 
is all one heart hears 
what it all boils down to in the end 

God be with them I pray
beginning their beautiful life's 
tainted with scars 
suffering little children 
to hear the patter of little feet
truly a Godsend
