Leigh Nickolyn Poet I do not know?

To: the World

To: The world

Please
Stop this warfare.

I am scared
To sleep with bombs
Crashing all around me.

I walk to school every morning
With blood draining into the streets
Bones pile on sides of buildings
Screams are the music harmony in this country 
I call home.

I once saw a woman
Holding this small girl
As bullets flew past their heads
And bombs set to end their life.

You should have seen the tears
That filled their faces,
Never have I seen pure terror
In such a young face
Or a loving elder.

There was once a peaceful community
In this country
Yet this dictator “knows” what is best
For all his citizens.

Peace is far gone 
For this world we live in.
