There Were Children Too

THERE WERE CHILDREN TOO There were children too When the Fat Man was dropped One bomb was all it took And all life then stopped. There were children too When the Little Boy came to visit One blow that just fell through And their future was forfeited. There were children too In Hiroshima, Nagasaki More than we will ever know Their blood wrote our History. There were children too, In Korea as in Vietnam- Death has no race, it's true He's in the bombs made by man. As long as there are men Drunk in power, hate, and rage There will always be the children With their names on Death's page. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~~08.31.14
