Causes of war

by Ayah   Jun 11, 2005


Although she’s a girl of seven years old
She feels very old
Having ceased parents, & being responsible for the house hold
Looking after a brother of a two year old

Frightened from everything around
Soldiers, weapons and bullets sounds
Yet cannot show her fear
Not to scare her brother dear

She got to feed the bro-son of her
So she has to grab food and quickly go home before anyone hurts her
Her story is not one of a kind
Hundreds like it, in the countries of the colonized

Poor children what have they done?
To live such way, and be always on the run!

Childhood wasted
Parents blasted

Damaged houses
Faded dreams

Terror is the only thing that shines in their little eyes
Fear, sorrow & despair is what they feel in their hearts of the small size

Would they only learn the language of the scream of rocket burn?
Or will it ever be abc & mathematics turn!!!
