Photographer not known. I am not using this in anyway to monetarily benefit from it. When I discover the photographer, I will offer corrected credit. It's too powerful to ignore.

Chilling, isn't it? The people who are being exploited in this way.
-
That's so sad!
Are they using kids for suicide bombing?!

When I saw this and read this I stopped breathing for a moment. This unfortunately shows the worst side of man. Thank you again for sharing.

Talk about putting reality right in your face. I have chills from this, not to mention the many many tears flowing down my face right now. This one should go in the newspaper.

Thanks Mari.... I appreciate your visit to these sad poems. I have three of them posted now........ one with the bodies of innocent people killed by Saddam... another with a tiny cat and an American GI..... plus this one........
Disturbing times....

Thanks Myra for your thoughtful comment on this sad poem. Things are so abstract these days that it's hard for the mind to even comprehend a thimble of it. I know God has His ways..... so does mankind..... I just hope that God and our humnan race combine in direction soon. This is almost more than I can bare right now.
Many blessings to you dear friend,

Thanks Mina, Sous, and Sara..... I appreciate the excellent comments. Amazing times we live in.... and for some of us... die in.

Oh wow...That literally brings me to tears, its a masterpiece Daddy but I wish there was not such a thing as this, it really touches the heart and twists it, how can someone do such a thing is beyond me, this is really tragic but it needed to be expressed, perhaps some insane loser that actually find entertainment in this will read & look how much pain and insanity it is, and get a wake up call

I never thought humanity can be so wicked to brain wash their children as little as shown on this picture in the name of religion... well said...

Thanks Mark for commenting. I knew you would appreciate the message here. We're not there for nothing... quite the opposite...we're their for everyone...all of mankind. Someone must step up against these kind of killings and killers. What to do exactly... I'm not smart enough for that... I just know I can't be in such a successful taking it easy when children are being killed and trained like this.
Don -
As the killing were not bad enough, we see kids being used as tools for the hate they carry in their heart. Again a photo and words that keep flashing in our mind.

Photos like this and the other one you posted tonight do tend to crush hope that this world will ever know any kind of permanent peace or sanity, but it also helps us understand the nature of our enemies and how warped their spirits have become. Strangers to mercy so blinded by their own hatred that they will allow babies to be blown to bits.
This photo reminded me of the famous quote by Golda Meir - "There will be peace when Palestinians love their children more than they hate Jews." Or when Iraqi's love their children more than they hate America. What a mess. They say to use diplomacy and reason, but how would they work against such fanaticism?
It must have been hard to find the right words for this - such a sweet face side by side with a grenade - but you did.

Heartwrenching
Dearest Don
Within the sad eyes of this (innocent?) child, lies the numbness of a world totally out of control ... What a reminder of self-inflicted destruction. Young souls are being used as pawns within a chess game of no winners.

This is a photo of a child in Iraq. He is already being trained to hate actually..... there are thousands of photos like this... sadly. 20000 plus children lay dead in their graves.... butchered.... the photos are startling...... disturbing........ beyond recovery!
