The Child

War...
Mindless war...
People in the street sighing...
Children crying,
Over fathers dying...
Women weeping,
Over husbands forever sleeping...
Countries lost,
Many lives cost...
Words flying,
Between leaders vying...
Lives shaken,
Many rights taken...
Might makes right,
Yet many times might makes blight...
Lamenting stars,
Looking down upon ugly scars,
Destroying the wilds,
Violence hurting the child...
