Suffer the children
His holy command
yet youngsters are dying
to gratify man.
Suffer the children
a babe on His knee
the carnage and bloodshed
the insanity.
Suffer the children
His message pure love
young angels returning
to heaven above.
Suffer the children
her piteous cry
her eyes on her captor
she breathed her last sigh.

The honesty in this cuts deep because it is so true too. Children the world over are suffering and continue to suffer in wars caused by politicians and fought by the military on behalf of those politicians.
Who are caught in the middle...children. If they are not suffering at the hands of their 'parents' who are supposed to love them, then they are suffering in other ways, famines, neglect, wars, disease, etc etc. Your piece is thought-provoking Montie, but is very very good.
