This Cinquain might be disturbing to some, and I apologize for that. But no one can justify taking the life of a child, or any human being, under any condition…
The ways of war
Ravaging innocence
Inexplicable brazenness
Murder

that place
only a child’s
imagination knows.
Where the angels
and the demons
draw upon them,
a daily discovery
Of right
and wrong
of weak
and strong
Do they belong?
Innocence
that place
we left
long ago

Innocence reigns, in the eyes of a child
They watch, bewildered, awed and beguiled
Asking about, the man with the hat
Wondering why, he is dressed quite like that
Why the sky is blue, and the grass is green
And every other color, left in between
Catching the sun, as it lights up their face
Taking it in, with seraphic grace
Oh how I wish I could see what they see
Shine on, dear child, who never was me
Live out your life, explore your dreams
Capture the beauty, of every moonbeam
Race to the morning, rise with the sun
Always remember, you’re second to none
