Somewhere
Somewhere in the world,
a mother weeps;
her child had been hurt
and she feels helpless.
Elsewhere,
a mother smiles
as her children
run carelessly past
in a playground.
Somewhere in the world,
a father is laughing
with his friends
in a smoke filled bar.
Elsewhere,
a father comforts
the awakened child
who screamed in fear
from a nightmare.
Somewhere in the world,
children play together;
running and laughing,
sharing and enjoying.
Elsewhere,
children are bearing arms
standing determined
to kill the enemy.
Somewhere in the world,
will there ever be balance?
