Who Will…?
Who will hear the childrens cry
Who will care for their hearts sigh
Who feels the pain of bombs destroying their play
Who looks upon the theft of their childhood display
Who will hold their hand from the fear of wars sounds
Who will keep them in air screams of missiles profound
Who will wipe the tears off their faces streak
Who will comfort their souls from warring freaks
Who will calm the childrens fear of todays horrors
Who will console them from evil sorrows
Who will bring them back to innocence space
Who will help these little ones future trace
Will you explain the injustice of losing their loved ones
Will you raise a voice for their weeping sons
Will you consider the trauma echoed in their voice
Will you sob at their broken hearts moist
Will you wash their clothes splattered in blood
Will you carry their souls tearing flood
Will you give them hope to pursue life
Will you extend mercy for their strife
Who will shout out for the childrens suffering
Will you, will you stand for their broken mutterings
Terror, horror, sorrow, orphans, warfares torment
At the feet and play of the childrens doorstep.
