Cry-Of-The-Unborn

CRY OF THE UNBORN

Before I was formed in 
my mother’s womb
He held my hand and 
called my name
And now I am to return 
to him as innocent
Without sin I go to my 
heavenly father

Before I saw the light in 
the world
Before taking my first 
breath, nor having my 
first tooth
I was extinguished
Batted and murdered
I was sentenced to death

Like a soldier sent to war
My mission was cut short
For my talents and skills 
can never be of any use
What will I report to ma 
creator

For my cry shall pierce the 
heavens
And my tears shall fill the 
earth
My sorrow shall solidify 
their hearts
And my voice will never 
be heard among the living

War

W A R

Before I was a foetus
The world was at war
Our forefathers forced to fight
For it was all irresistible

Now I have grown 
And I’m dragged to a fight I did not ignite
A war which I do not know if it will end
In the front line we fear for our lives

Gone through hills and mountains
The soles in our boots ran out
Food and water were all we needed	
A journey we never prepared for

The smell of gun powder fills the air
Empty gun shells carpet the ground
War vehicles smoking and left to rot
The battle have seized

Waking to the sound of gun shots we tremble in fear
Day and night we do not know the difference
For the enemy does not rest
But my enemy is a man like me

How many deaths must we suffer?
How many forests must we bring down?
How many generations must pay for our forefather’s faults?
How long can our race really endure this suffering?
