I Cry

I sat in tears and let them roll down my face I cried for this child who will not get to know his dad For his dad was a soldier sent out to fight a sad thing called terrorism. He will have no more bed time stories Or walks hand in hand in the park He will not get to play ball or sports He will not remember his daddy at all. A toddler with bottle in hand Not aware yet of the terror that exists Who will protect these little one Please mankind understand Many little ones lose their mom or dad In a world where chaos seems to reign Why cannot peace find a place In the hearts of man? Why must there be death for greed I see no other name for it Or you could call it power with no care for fellow man. I guess some may be called animals For they hunt only to kill Who taught them that man are enemies Is that what is called war. I sit and cry for the human kind What state we are in I sit and cry for the child For what will become Tears run tell they run no more I cry for this world I cry for the adult and the child I cry for this world today.
