Children of War
They have a blank gaze
That doesn’t hide nor convey
Their pain
It’s difficult to understand
At that tender age
What hurts and what won’t
Even pain doesn’t last long
Just the fear
Of it coming back again
Few may whimper or cry
Bandages soaked blood red
The only bright colour seen
After a long time on them
On both sides of the border
Man made
Sun doesn’t stop at the gates
To immigrate
Moon doesn’t show off many passport
Smug and vain
Though with the winds and clouds
Bullets and missiles too rain
A scene that repeats itself
Almost every decade
Children taste the fruits
Of their fathers deeds
And sins forefathers had
Long gone committed
