Children.....
Shouldn't they be running
amongst flowers in meadows
or tugging the leashes of their doggies
or drawing cartoons on their sketch pads
or licking ice creams on a hot day?
Children....
Shouldn't they be held close
to the bosoms of their mums and dads
or just watching Sesame Street on TV screens
or making faces with each other in their kindy classes
or riding their neon-colored mini bikes?
Children....
Why do we adults bring them forth
to the world they never ask for
yet only to live lives
of sheer pain and
brevity?
Children....
Aren't they supposed to be gifts from God?
Yet they've become the pawns in adults' games
they're the price of adults' wars
and they live in pain
and die in vain
Adults!!!
Open your eyes and look at them
See those tiny bloodied faces
Hear their whimpering cries
Touch their skinny limbs
and watch they die
Adults!!!
Stop that greed! Cease the wars!
Do you think you can own this world forever?
No! Not even the children will
Because of you adults they
the children die
Why???
What do they die for???
