war-child

oh! little child,the one thats in us
we live in terror here,its all around us
guns and bombs,so why all the fuss
waging wars for the name in god we do trust

your warm tears wont change a thing
even with all the love you bring
cause everything that man has built
will soon be destroyed

so hold on tight,my little loved one
a world that makes no sense,so now we must run
no more angels left,to save us from sudden death
everything that man creates will be used to destroy

oh! little child the one thats in us
you ask me all the time,the hell's wrong with us
no more answers for you,there are times I wish I knew
eden is just a dream,that man will destroy

brace yourself little one,watch it cave right in
they will tell you, but its a lie,nobody ever wins
the river of tears can't stop blood and these fears
the sounds of nature are deaf to man,but he hears destroy

no more bombs at night,nothing left,no guiding light
no more child's laugh or screams,this time we did it right
oh! little child we now not exist,we've taken life from you
your little body burned away,mans dream now destroyed away

About this poem:
inspired by the song~when the children cry~my take on a very powerful and sad song by the band white lion,the message is clear.love over war.
