Ghastly looks... <br />Teary eyes... <br />Hopeless face <br />Little hands reaching for peace.... <br />Troubled eyes craving for love... <br /> <br />Missiles roaring above... <br />Roaring like thunder in the sky... <br />Torturing children's little minds <br />Little minds, young enough to understand... <br />What's going on in the land... <br /> <br />Their little eyes seeking <br />Their young thoughts asking <br />Who's to blame...? <br />Do they fight for them <br />Or simply just for their fame? <br /> <br />What's the use of their fight? <br />For the innocents dark future, <br />Crippling the silky sweet soul of the young... <br />Or burying their dreams along with history? <br /> <br />Ruins, lifeless bodies scattered everywhere <br />Children innocently calling their lost moms <br />Women's endless cries, hopeless sigh <br />Their voices echo like owl howling at night.... <br />Is this the good fruit of the fight? <br /> <br />Oh, God...we do pray <br />For these many innocent souls <br />Carry them in your loving arms <br />Ease their pain, wipe up their tears... <br />Give them hope, the pain they could bear <br /> <br />Oh, God...we do pray <br />For those lovers of war, soul's astray <br />Softens their ruthless heart.... <br />Enlighten their wicked minds... <br />To live according to your will... <br />And put this endless war to end... <br /> <br />God, please hear the voice of the innocents <br />With your great mercy, do heal every land, please... <br /> <br /> <br /> _mai_ <br />06Jan09<br /><br />Maia Padua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/voice-of-the-innocents-gaza-strip/
