 Reflections of Judy

Children of war


Children of war
 
We have played with the devil,
now our kids will pay the piper,
 
We have opened hell's door,
to release the viper
 
Hatred seems to spread,
way too far.
The only hope for us all,
is peace not war.
.
They walk in our dust.
toward the fire,
This earth's lust,
feeds the devil's desire,
 
Our only hope is said,
 is in the child  born under  a star.
Our children are walking though blood red.,
with the living dead.
 
Look where hated has lead.
the children of war.
Children of war
 
The world is crashing around them,
They don't know how to escape,
so afraid of the unknown realm.
Tomorrow is in the hands of fate,
 
They have already faced sorrow,
They have already tasted heartache,
 
They wonder where is Superman,
That hero they became,
when they put on the cape,
 
Life demanded they left their childhood behind.
It's not the way they planned it,
somewhere back in time,
 
they wish they could return.
to the bridges that they burn
.
is there another day to borrow?
Can they walk though the sorrow,
to find tomorrow,
 
to see the sun rise,
Sometime lost in the shadows,
alone as they fight their own battles,
sometime they wish they could just close their eyes,
 
is there another day to borrow?
Can they walk through the sorrow,
to find tomorrow?
 
children from everywhere under the stars
children of wars,
sometime they feel so lost,
others may not realize the cost,
 
is there another day to borrow?
Can they walk throgh the sorrow,
and find tomorrow?
 
Like the living dead.
Look how hatred is bred,
blood shed.
so many die,
Look how hatred has spread.
Dequised by love's sweet lie.
Tears in the eye,
 
is there another day to borrow?
Can they walk thruogh the sorrow,
and find tomorrow?
 
For every mistake,
humanity seems to make,
seems to take us closer to defeat,
Is it too late,
for the child's sanity  on the street?
 
is there another day to borrow?
Can they walk throgh the sorrow,
and find tomorrow?
