By M.D
(age: 8 - 12)
A heartsick father waves goodbye,
His tiny children start to cry.
A man yells out, a smoking gun,
A mother's weeping for her son.
There's sounds of sorrow, shouts of pain,
Screams and yells, it's not humane.
Why can't we stop our battles now?
It's not that hard, I'll show you how.
We'll be together, hand in hand,
Beside each other we will stand.
For this is how we all should live,
Love each other, and forgive.
