I do not know when mom will return
I wait here for the promise that I was given
I am waiting for my food
I hear people crying
And I can’t go outside as I’m alone
I hear the thunder of jets
The sound of bombs hitting the ground
I am really afraid as to what I should do
I really think I should go out
But I can’t break the promise I gave
I feel the hunger rising
And the pain of my bleeding legs
I have been waiting for 3 days now
I really wonder why mom hasn’t returned
Now I know…
I see my mom dressed in white
I see her smiling at me
Oh, how I wish!
Wish I could join her soon
Just like she has joined with dad and my brother
I only wish to die
Only then I will be saved from this hell

- Comment from author about the poem: Tear of a child (war poem) is my perspective of how these wars are affecting people and kids in that area. These are the people who are suffering, who lost everything for something they don’t even understand. Who was part of a fight they never started, yet they are the ones that lose everything.

Sadly, we seem to be so far away from living in harmony and peace in this world. Thank you for sharing. If everyone spoke up, maybe things could change. Who knows.
Its something that I thought ill do at least to make some difference, am happy you liked it.
Very strong and good write. The innocent are always the ones that pay in any war, even the soldiers are innocents that have been pulled into conflict by those they serve.
