For The Children Of Wars Poem by Aryan Rathi

Oh children of war! ,
What price had you paid! ,
How many nights did you sleep hungry with your mind yearning for peace and all you have lost,
How many times was your heart broken with the thoughts of a loved one you have lost,

Oh children of war! ,
We owe so much to you,
To every tear that fell from your eyes is something which God and the world itself will never forgive us for,
To every shard of innocence in your have that was crushed benath the marching boots of the soldiers,
To dream that you had which lost somewhere along the road of survival,
To that joyous laughs that would make flowers bloom and give the world itself a reason to exists,

Oh children of war! ,
Your eyes that should have been in awe of everything the world Has to offer, has gone dry with no more tears to shed and had seen worst the world has to offer,
You who should have listened to chirping of birds, waves and the wind blowing, now have to hear the cries of pain and anguish,

Oh children of war,
We mourn for you,
We pity you,
But we don't love you,
Why else would we continue our selfish ways where wars occur to profit a select few and human deaths just becomes a number.
Nothing more nothing less,

But can we really give a number toa human life, all the love he recived and gave, all the moments of joys and laughter he had ever experienced, all emotions he has ever felt, people who were in his life who walked this roads of life with him till a bullet or a bomb left them all alone,

But such is our nature we are inherently greedy, selfish and hate each other,
We wage wars for dust, rubbles and words in old books,
Even our creator would be ashamed every time he looked onto the world of man and see what we have done with all our gifts,
We became all that we loathed,

But in all these moments of despair,
You, oh! Children are what brings hope into this world,
For every child born is a miracle,
It is a sign that our creator still has faith in us,
For he sees that in this world there are those, who are truely Human, who love all his creation as he does,
We are but a select few,
For some pretends to be us but they aren't,
Beware of them if given a choice between their comfort or ending your suffering they will choose themselves and their own comfort above all,
We exists but everyday in this selfish world is a puzzle to us,
We try everyday to make sense of the world and why it works the way it does,
Where human life is not of utmost importance,

People kill in the name of Gods but they end only miracle, the proof that he is out there that is human life,


Oh children of war!
Grow up but don't let your heart become hollow for there is still love out here for you, for there is still a life out there for you,
Even though you may have lost your family but you can still have one of your own,
All the loved ones you have lost would wish for you to move on and be happy,
I don't know how you feel but know that there are still people out there who still loves you,
You have not meet us and may be will never meet us but we are still there,

Oh children of war,
For smile that you radiates make the world a better place,

Oh children of war! ,
Join us and let us make sure none suffers, what you went through,
So that our children and their children can live in peace and harmony.

Oh children of wars,
Help is on the way,
We are in the way.
