Reading by Andrew Jarvis

Children in War

Empty massacres 

Small eyes are watching 

Their words 

Going up to the empty sky 

Fading away without any realistic effect 

No one notices 

No one understands 

But children try to find 

Their times 

Dreams 

And hopes which they used to have 

But, a whirlpool of hopelessness 

Captures them 

They will have 

An illusion of silence 

During the worst commotion 

Their pleading surely exists 

In their voices without sound 

In their writings without letters 

In their words without being said 

In their breathing 

In their minds 
In their silent screams 

And calmness in the madness
