War

I am a civilian at war
I do not know how to hold a gun at all 
I hope to return home a warrior

I am a civilian at war
facing giants and the world
I hope you hold my hand when I stretch it for help 

I am a civilian at war
My feet are swollen and my stomach as well
I hope you feed me when I won’t be able to lift my hand 

I am a civilian at war
My uniform has rugs 
I hope you dress me when you see me naked 

I am civilian at war
Confused by man’s religions 
I hope you guide me if you see me my friend

I am a civilian at war
My riffle has run out of bullets 
I hope you recharge mine if have some in excess 

I am woman 
alone in a labour room
I hope you come to my rescue if you hear my voice 

I am a man
Depressed 
I hope you talk to me when you see me drowning

I am girl child
sexually Assaulted 
I hope you protect me next time you see me alone

I am a young person
Caught stealing and swindling my loved ones
I hope you employ me next time you read my resume
