Children of Doom. They crossed in there thousands to safety Escaping from Sudan over the border into Chad Woman were beaten,raped,and murdered Conditions were rapidly turning bad Dust particles hurled across in anger The scorching heat, unbearably beating down The sky showed no sign of life giving rain Swarms of people gathered, filling the Compound Stench of human odor,oozes through the pound The mauling insistence of bothering flies Ignoring the pest the children don't understand Robbing fluids from their mouth,nose and eyes Diseases swiftly sweeps through the mass The children are the first victims to fall With no food, water or medical aid Life hasn't a chance for ones so small The shocking thinness of his body exposes the out lines of his ribcage He will be hard pushed to survive the night The illness in his system, over powers the rage A mother's heart suffers with pain and sorrow It had been days since her child had eaten He laid helplessly on a make shift bed of rags She knows without food she is beaten His small body swollen with malnutrition Death would be a release into freedom His body dehydrated from lack of water His holiness shutting down almost in welcome Millions of people will die ahead of their time Children of the next generation will be no more The nomads of the desert will become lost,extinct History tells the killings was destoryed by war The mother gathers him close for the last time Her sad eyes full of unshed tears She knew it was only a matter of time That death will claim all her fears She condemed God, for what had her child done Yet,she knew life had changed as she breathed Are we dying by the thousands to make way For a new generation where life will be freed It's not a matter of the fittest surviving As each day passes with no future ahead Soon it will be my turn to die she thought For my son, my heart was the only one that bled She looked towards God for peace and forgiveness She had wrongly accused him, her suffering wounds Her begging in silence made her realize one thing She too was one of The Children of Doom. |
