Children Killed
Children died today
While they were at play
A bomb went right through them
As if they were all clay
Now I’m not a man that hates
But it tears me up inside
Because there is no peace
When a child has died
And there is no justifying
Killing children in the Street
These people are just monsters
And for that they face the heat
I thought I might act like them
If my country was attacked
But only Satan would act like that
Without the honor that they so lacked
Author notes
I hate it when people call insurgents freedom fighter or so I would do the same thing. The are heartless SOB's and I would gladly kill the all. How can you kill innocent children on propose. Wake up people please,

most very excellent write!!!!!
your sadness is over-whelming, your pain shows through each word. bless you for what you do. "I thought I might act like them
If my country was attacked But only Satan would act like that
Without the honor that they so lacked" I'm so glad that you put God in charge of your life. keep the ink flowing poet. God bless you. -
What a heart wrenching piece here. It's very very good, and it hurts to read something like this that you know happens during war and no one talks about. It is good to get it out though, any way you can. This is full of horrifying emotion. Very well written. Blessings

It's so sad how children must also be faced with the evils of war. Excellent job. Thank you for entering my contest. Best of luck! -
Emotive Subject, well done!
The loss of a child, in fact, any loved one is senseless and doesn't seem normal. When we think that trees, turtles live longer lives than a human, it makes you wonder what it's all about. War has it's own evil, so many suffer and die, all too often children suffer the most because if they survive, they are often left as orphans. The world seems to have gone completely mad. There has always been wars, yet, in this modern day and age, technology enables the powers that be to be able to use such distructive methods. I have noticed that when I have discussed war with those of the older generation that have gone through a war, particularly world war two they have all said they don't ever want to go through another one because of the evil they have experienced in war. It changes peoples lives, changes personalities, has a distructive effect on the soldiers families etc. Children need to be protected from the evil of war, in fact if man were not so greedy wanting more land, more wealth etc, then surely there would be common ground for peace... I will stop here with these thoughts, I could go on for ever about wanting peace for the human race, however, I honestly believe that there would have to be too many changes to have to take place before that could happen, and so many people are happy with the lives they lead, they would not want to change the way they live in order for a change to come about. Satan is surely in charge of this world.
My prayers are for the children of the world and their safety, happiness and peace.

excellent
Charlie, I would gladly stand beside you in killing these SOB's
fighting for what they think is right for their country or not these people are cowards. I hope every one keeps in mind that even though this war is hated, we hope the outcome is that no more Iraqies will die for just being or for stating their opionion, That maybe on day the children who survive will remember and make it better for generations to come. God be with the mothers over there, If they killed one of mine there would be a few less cowards in the world cause I would totally go off the deep edge and seek revenge for my child. I pray that God will bring peace to their suffering soon. Stay safe and God Bless. Keep up the wonderful job you are doing. -
