Having suffered years of grueling tyranny,
Sand is still red which should be tawny.
Iraq has become a land of widows
Men are killed there in rows.
Due to war when families are separated,
Children are those who are worst affected.
Phan Thi Kim Phuc is name of that woman,
Who became goodwill ambassador in 1997,
UNESCO gave her this honorable position
She was photographed in a piteous condition,
During the Vietnam War, in her childhood.
But every child victim's luck isn't so good.
War ends, in some years country recoups,
Civilians honor their patriotic brave troops.
Injured soldiers medicated at country's cost,
Children loose their shelters when they need most.
Education is beyond such kids' dream
They have to compromise their self-esteem
Fighting for food, having memories of terrors,
After a war, they are the worst warriors.
