War…Bosnia
What's it all about?
This war and awful strife!
Hate and total destruction!
Causing loss of life!
People live in fear,
Their lives...just torn apart,
And all because of people,
Who seem not to have a heart!
Families cry in the night!
For loved ones gone astray,
Roaming the barren land,
Dreading the newness of day!
Children left as orphans,
As they watch their parents die,
Shot before their eyes...
Can you hear those children cry..?
Herded from their homes!
Like cattle in the night!
Thrown out like old linen,
Creating such a sight!
Bosnia, the people...
Bare of all their goods!
Hungry, thirsty and in fear,
They hide out in the woods.
War, pain and sorrow!
The order of the day!
For the people of Bosnia!
For whom we should all pray!
