Unfaithful (War)

by Sarah   Feb 12, 2008


Everyday millions of innocent children are dying in Palestine
And prosperous people spending their money on wine,
Not considerate about anybody but them selves
And hiding their guns on top of their shelves.

Every hour a bomb hits Iraq
And for safety,
A family run and hides behind a rock.

Every minute a child is injured
And torment for things they didn't do,
Every word I am writing right now is only for you
You can open your eyes and feel,
This whole desolation I am writing is real.

When a poor innocent child runs to hide
The child ends up dying,
With nobody in its side.

When a mother goes look for her child
She finds her child cover up with red,
She suppurate until there aren't anymore tears
Because she knows her child is dead.

''We sit here'', and watch
There's nothing in our hand to do
''Just sit here'', and look at you.

We watch the news and,
Look at the children gushing with tears,
Can you look at a mother in the eye?
When she just lost her child,
Would you stand there and shed a tear?

Can you look at a child in the eye?
When the child just lost his/her mother
Would you stand there and cry?

The father is nowhere to be found
How would you think a child would feel watching his father die?
Slaughtered dead on the ground.

Poor innocent kids are suffering
nobody have any faith
They do what's best for them selves
And there isn't any place where kids can be safe.

Did a day pass by and somebody stayed alive?
Did a day pass by and no one shed a tear?
Did a day pass by with happiness and cheer?

I sit here on my chair
looking at the children dying yesterday and today,
It's tearing me apart to see them cry
Every each tear that drops down to earth makes me want to die.

We got to be strong
and, hold our head up high,
We will help every each child
and never make them cry.

We all will always pray
to see happiness and joy,
Each and everyday.
