Where Angels Fear To Tread

Where angels fear to tread; 
And cowards never go.
Is where I wish to head.
With those I wish to know.

Where children cry to themselves alone;
In war torn lands of enemies and fear;
With no food, no family, no home.
Where death lingers and is always near.

Where soldiers line the ancient street;
Killing in the name of God, guns, and greed;
The bodies of babies at their feet.
The soul of humanity bleeds.

When so many choose to turn away;
Children need a warrior friend;
I long to be with them today.
If not to fight, but to defend.

Where angels fear to tread;
And cowards never go.
In the lands of the dying and dead.
I send my love. A’ho!!



In Loving memory of the Children who have died because of war , guns, greed, and religion this year.
