Dear Aurore, your poem captures the emotion of sorrow with harrowing imagery. It’s always the innocents who pay the ultimate price in war. If only humans could be humane.. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

It doesn't matter what year, what conflict, the children suffer, and the strange thing is, it's usually one madman at the helm.

Hearthbreaking, to say the least, Aurore. We condemn the horrors of war, senseless killings, and much more. Alas, part of humanity will never learn :( Regards, my friend // paul

Reading about the deaths of children, abortions, starvation, and murders is heartbreaking.

Some things never get erased from the map, and the words oh the words to describe genocide, I can't say how much these words affected me xo

How terrible to read about the young dying, abortions, lack of food, and murders. The list is infinite. May God have mercy on our souls.

You have echoed the tears of humanity, even when this site tried to silence the horrors of genocide. Women and children are being heard, hopefully we change the world. If we can stay alive to speak.
