Born
too old but too young to die
A
childhood never realised
Body
never grown
Seed
never sown
Never
seen the love in a mother's eyes
Isolation
Feel
the hunger
No
harvest in the desert sand
No
reflection in the water
No
water anymore in this land
Heat
of the sun burns by day
Children
reach out their hands
Unclothed
and filthy and crying at night
A
dark storm blows across this neglected land
Dream
of love
Pray
for a future
Tenderness
and a new law
A
reason to live
A
reason to smile
Oh,
some beauty worth surviving for
If
a God exists why does he allow
Such
pain, pain to be felt
Apocalyptic
scenes in narrow valleys
Bodies
melted into the asphalt
No
shelter by day
No
shelter by night
Children
reach out their hands
Unclothed
and filthy and crying at night
A
dark storm blows through this devastated land
