    *** Children of war ***

    These children hidden away from sight,
    Behind locked doors they cower.
    The war outside advertising their plight,
    Made orphans by this evil power.
    For years this land was ruled by fear,
    Three cultures living as one.
    Now given their freedom they pay quite dear,
    This war now claims father, mother and son.

    Ancient history has now taken control,
    As young and old are raped and beaten to death.
    Left to rot, with no one to pray for their soul.
    From these deaths no one gains any wealth.
    They are killing their neighbors today,
    In retaliation for wars waged centuries ago.
    Acting out this evil unscripted play
    Every day these atrocities go on show.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
