River of tears

26 4 2
                                    

Down by the river of tears

she the mother knealed

and grasped the dirt between her hands

Then planted a flag of peace

Her heart wrenched with fear

when remembering her indelible dreams

She the mother grasped

Frantically her last child

Rocks... gunfire...bloodshed

Tombs filled with children...

She looked up to the sky

and wished to be with her children

Then remembering her last child

Gazed desperately into the Horizon

and shouted a piercing sentence

Stop killing our children!

Stop killing our children!
