Little Flower

The consequences of war

Pools of jewels drip down your face

Why do you cry little flower, you are not alone

Why must we hate, the world is a wonderful place

Centuries of repeats and centuries of mistakes

It never gets better ma, it only stays the same

Oh wilting flower! what has brought this on?

Tell me now, you are not alone.

All the criticism and malicious intent…why must people

Take something wonderful and turn it into something evil?

Why must we be violent to make something great?

Hatred and death do not bring love and

The will to protect your love ones will only bring

Death if you go looking for death.

Little flower you are right, it does not make sense

Hopefully everyone will start to see that what we are doing

Will only bring pain and despair, but

Always remember you are not alone.

Yes ma I know, but I have one more question

 Ask me little flower, you are safe here.

Mommy, when is daddy coming home?
