Never Reached Eight

Wrapped in white burial shrouds and only seven This little girl is now making her way to heaven The Myanmar junta forces battered her door Made their way inside all in the name of war Gun shots were fired and screams were heard Killing this child is simply downright absurd What had this child done for them to shoot ? Killed for certain by an evil callous brute Imagine the grief of her family left behind War doesn't solve anything it's time to remind Rest in peace little lady you died needlessly Doesn't make any sense that's according to me
