The Power of the Words

Every time the enemy proclaims the word war,
A child cries without parents...
A woman begs them to stop,
A village suffocates in silence,
a city does not sleep in terror,
children sob in fear,
houses fall without walls,
families go crazy in amazement,
Rivers lose water to the blood,
hospitals without a cure lose meaning,
schools are miseducated by violence,
roads lead nowhere...
When they offer the word Peace,
no one believes, because evil
of the bombs does not cease... !
