Enough, In the Name of Libya

Your children are dying
Minute after minute
Their bodies lifeless
How much more will you take
This time, it has reached your door
Scream for them, for your very being
Let your voices be heard,
For blood has been filling the earth
Mud has now covered your children’s flesh
Cover your eyes no more,
Let your voices be heard
As your hearts die,
With each soul taken
Bury your dead, and pray
Raise your voices, and say “no more”
There is nothing left now
Pray for them and for you

I'm not really sure what your trying to convey, but the people of Libya have a right to be angry and revolt against a dictator. I hope America would do the same.

Dark descriptiveness, but nevertheless very good.
