Life without live

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky.
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace.
Since he's been here.
No bravery, in your eyes anymore
Only sadness...
Houses burnt beyond to repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says
' He has been here. '
Tracer lighting up the sky, it's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says
' He has been here... '
But no one asks the question why he has been here?
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate says
' He has been here. '
