The cruelty of war that maims <br /> The cries of children in the night <br /> Cries that stop mercilessly -- <br /> Hear no more -- <br /> The dead do not cry. <br /> For the cries of children reach <br /> Beyond the borders and some, <br /> Only some, must answer the <br /> Calling of the darkness from the <br /> Dungeons of human hearts in fright <br /> And pain that reaches through the night.<br /><br />Henry Kriescher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-borders/
