A Child's reflection
Made homeless from home
Bombed city where though all
Extend arms, find it harder
To hold peace than explosives
In a napalmed land
As home bred exile I learn
To grow under a chemical sky
Dripping with nuclear fall outs
Flowing to other poison
Poured daily on earth and mind -
Today planet earth, tomorrow the stars.
How sad man who dreams of a home
In hereafter, can't share their warmth
To each other's heart, here and now..

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
Love it. It reminded me of world war II and all the air raids. Very nicely written
When a child grows with hostility he learn to find violence in the world.
Oh my, what a sad truth and stark reality. So gracefully written and digs deep into you.
It is very sad we have our beautiful earth, but some would rather destroy it and others know this and are desperately seeking a new home asap.. :)
its true and sad too...so touchy...i like the expression! ! !
sad but true, it's a very troubled world we live in today, but where there's life there is hope.

Just Beautifull! !
