. <br />Our beautiful children are dying <br />In Africa, Europe, the Middle East <br />Asia, the Americas, <br />And in every projects where there is no peace. <br />Our black children are dying <br />For lack of basic necessities and because of the lies <br />And the carelessness of their greedy leaders. <br />Our white children are dying <br />Because of the expensive weapons and the nuclear reactors. <br />Our brown children are dying <br />Because of the selfishness of the oppressors <br />Our yellow children are dying <br />Because of the savagery of the dictators. <br />Our beautiful children are dying, <br />When will they stop suffering? <br />We forgot that we were once beautiful children. <br />When will this senseless carnage end? <br />We should love them and protect them. <br />We should feed them and help them. <br />Let the rainbow display the colors of heaven. <br />Let’s fill up the air with love; let’s ring and ring <br />The bells of happiness on this beautiful land, <br />In every street corners and every Carrefour <br />Let’s stop this holocaust, this bloody war in Darfur. <br />Let the colorful doves caress the blue firmament <br />And let the children play together under the heavenly tent. <br /> <br />Copyright ©August 2008, Hébert Logerie, All Rights Reserved <br />Author f the poetry book 'Sparkles of Love'<br /><br />Hebert Logerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-beautiful-children/
