In The Midst Of War

in the midst of war with bodies lying on the ground walks a band of children-their families can't be found searching through the rubble of homes that used to be looking for food and clothes just to survive because of their elders who choose to live a lie. as i look through their eyes-all i can see is death and destruction staring at me. these children are not to blame for what is all around but! if its not stopped they'll be laying on the ground. they search thru this destruction in hopes that they'll find-others to join them. as they walk down the streets-the elders stop their fighting to let them pass. but this is just temporary- they know it will not last. other children see them marching down the streets they dropp what they are doing to join this band knowing in their hearts it's time to take a stand. this band is getting larger and the children start to shout.. what is this war? whats it all about? can't you see the lives that have been taken? because of this war the ground is still shaking. the elders stop their fighting as the children all sit down. they scream'we are not moving until this fight is through. if this is what you want we will die with you. you think only of yourselves and not what we're going through. and when we die-what are you going to do. there will be no one to carry on your name there will be no heritage to be found it will be burned to the ground. look at our faces and you know what you will see death and destruction surrounding me. so we ask you from our hearts-it's time to change. it is not something which is hard to do it's all up to every one of you.
