Let the children be children

I Wish there was more I could do,
Than merely,
Put words in writing,
echoing the same thing,
over and over,
Let the children be children
In a land,
where the river’s turned red,
And the cries, of our young ones
Pierce, the atmosphere-
Pleading for mercy.
And I wish,
my voice held the strength
To impact,
every person with the power
To make, a difference
And bring, the bloodbath
To an end.
And I wish, My heart was
as wide,
As the ocean, to absorb
Your pain, so you won’t
Have to carry, this grief
On your own.
How I wish,
There was more I could do,
Than put words in writing.
