The Children Of Others

Innocent lives cut short, by death in war,
are not unknown, in the mounting score.

Who will cry for those, who wrought this cost,
in the day of reckoning, when their lives are lost?

I’m sure for them, some tears will then be shed,
as they are miscounted, among the innocent dead.

For it was with well crafted lies, that they did decide,
to send their warriors, as the real truth they did hide.

Touting freedom, as their purpose and rallying cry,
they sent out the children of others, to kill and die.

Not having to live with consequences, for their decision,
their judgement was clouded, by their lack of moral vision.

Thusly have they sheltered, themselves and their own,
while contempt for other’s lives, they have callously shown.
