When the Innocent Cries

The world has become jaded by the news we observe It’s not until we notice something morally monstrous Neither peacemakers nor warmongers have the nerve It’s the emotions of the weak that raise our awareness Our heads turn around when it involves the innocent The terror and tears on their face make us take notice Traumatizing their faultless world are the malcontents Disrupting their pure sanctity with death and sickness Trying to make sense of what has harassed their reality Children and the elderly suffer, contrary to popular belief Too delicate to be collateral damage of the war’s tragedy Hearing the innocent cry, are you listening to their grief
