Wartime! ! ! Poem by Gary Manning

Do they not see? All the war and envy? Do they not see all the pain inside me? Do they not see that I'm just a child and war is all around me. In the morning I wake up to the smell of blood and gunpowder. I wake up and hope has forsaken me. I cry but they just keep dieing nobody can hear me! I live with hunger and poverty and the world can't see or they just don't care nothing about me. I am but a piece of meat in the worlds eyes its sad that they don't love me. I wish they could live like me for a little bit. Then they will feel my sorrows. This wartime that the world worships is what's killing me. Ohh god plez come and take me. Because my leaders don't care nor want me and my parents are dead and I'm sick of eating out of this trash can. I go to school and its a wonderful place to be' ohh look at the tank rounds in the outside walls what a sight to see. Why dose this world hate me? Why dose this world worship a piece of paper and kill babys? Ohh god why am I hear and what a evil place it is. Ohh god you say that I am the kingdom of heaven. Yet the world wish me die and tell me that they love me? I look around and fear is all I see' maybe one day you will come and save me... The next day as the child wakes up she hears a voice that is so loving she hears it over the war.. My child you are the kingdom let no man tell you lies. I am coming and I will wipe them tears from your eyes. My child man has become nothing more then a beast' I give them time to chang yet they continue to hate me. My child in the event of your demise you will rise and never be sad a gen. My child their are some of my people left in this world' yet they are asleep thinking that I will make it all go away. My child I love you and will never forsake you' I am the one who made you. You are hear as light in a fallen world' never think that I don't care' I have servants but most just sit in a char. Look to me as you see pain and sorrows. My child the world hates me too so know that I love you. Ggm
