| Children Suffering and Dying in Yemen |
Our life:
four ruined walls without a roof
bombed schools, burned hospitals,
screams and panic in the streets
bombed schools, burned hospitals,
screams and panic in the streets
and there's no laughter in the little
children's garden anymore.
children's garden anymore.
I count our years together— six.
Ahmed cries for mama,
Nazira will be five for ever.
Jamal shoots at planes with
a wooden gun and each day
his lust for blood grows stronger.
Carnage, charred bodies,
the stench of rotting flesh
and the fighters keep coming:
and the fighters keep coming:
important men in foreign lands
weighed up the cost in coin—
one job, a thousand lives.
one job, a thousand lives.
