wrath of a child

this poem encompass what i believe the children of wars are going through so enjoy it please

Upon the crumbling walls i stood

Through the deteriorating roofs i looked

I gazed around the shattering windows

I listened to the dreary screams of widows

The life i knew so well slipped from me 

In a sudden moment of utter melancholy

I wandered aimlessly

I cried a piercing shriek that reached the deepest sea

Where are you mother ?

Where have you gone father ?

Why did you abandon me brother ?

The sky sobbed with me

The subtle breeze of the world consoled me

For you have missiles

I have tears

For you have rifles 

I have smiles

I shall clad my self in the cloak of innocence

I shall engulf my heart into convalescence

You conceal your face into disguise

You look at me with cunning eyes

Tittering and laughing on your own lies

For i , i shall rebel my friends

So believe me this is not the end

From the past i depart

From the  sad memories i walk

For i'm ought to carry the flag of liberty

And anchor my name to eternity

"The sky sobbed with me

For you have missiles

I have tears

For you have rifles

A very sad reality nowadays and to those who have never been in a war or a civil war need to know that there are no civil things about it and the result are orphaned children and widows. A very powerful poem...:)

sounds like
you been talking to my ignorant neighbors
and their shabby trailer
watch their dog
think it has rabies
HAI!!!

Sad, yet you dissect the truth,( more and more your view of "the American Tourist" )Is swept away, you are asked to sit in another room not "Mature enough to eat at our table" But you are the mature one, even in your youth, I suspect you speak ,and understand at least three languages,most here can speak only one,the voice they hear is only their own,or a phone massaging a need in their mind,(they can't identify)So good luck in your walk for liberty, I hope, (and hope is a powerful emotion some would like to erase)you can live the liberty you view.

The children in war are the forgotten victims. I was a Soldier for 15 years. I saw in the eyes too much living and pain learn by children growing up in war zones. The poem described question and thoughts. Old wise saying. Hard times create hard people. Poor kids in war zones lose their youth for the desire of surviving. I like the closing lines to the excellent poetry.
