Yesterday s Child



Yesterday you were an innocent child
Today you are a killing machine holding a T56
No feelings no remorse or passion
What an unhealthy transformation

Yesterday I saw you were going to school
You carried books in your hands  
 I could see  your innocent  smile
Today I see blood in your hands
They turned you in to a diminutive monster

No longer I see your childish face
Instead I see the atrocious eyes 
Filled with anger and hate
You cast a deadly shadow

What happened to the yesterday s child?
Who stole his childhood?  and why?
Fruitful and innocent youth
Turned in to dust that  will never return

Yesterday s child no longer you exist
Your world is shattered 
The Promised Land is no more
All you see is the wasteland with walking dead

  1. Shocking and naked truth. Persons those who driven these children in to an unsuccessful war should be eradicated.
