War
Dusty barren landscape
Nothing but rubble bare and dull
Siren echoing across the countryside
Bomb on the way
Panic-stricken families, homeless
Sickness, no medicine
Hunger, no food
Thirst, dehydrated
No-one who cares
Smoke choking orphans
Refugees on foot walking miles
Only silence roams the ruined cities and towns
Maybe the moan of a dying soldier
Deserted, unhappy, frighted or lost.

Where is peace?
Where is love?
So many difficult questions.
