Death of the Innocents
I screamed in the basement
As the bombs rained down.
Seven years of age
When buried in the ground.
I scurried down the road
As the bullets flew.
A soldier took aim
So I never grew.
They blow women and children
To shreds and to gore
So they can make profit
From destruction and war.
They’re selling missiles to tyrants
And power-mad fanatics.
Justifying the sale
With mental acrobatics.
They are madmen and worse
Who are running the world;
Creating a rampage
That can never be quelled.
It’s all fear and terror
In the hearts of the ravaged,
From cruelty and sadism
In the hearts of the savage.
We humans are engaged
With a great killing spree
And won’t be satisfied
Til the world’s on its knees!

Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Iraq, Nigeria, Myanmar, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Everywhere you look you see the hardness of eyes, the fanaticism and the barbarity of humans.
It’s time we put a stop to this massacre of the innocents!
