I have seen the faces of children in war torn countries who no longer have that childish sparkle in their eyes. Youth snatched away and replaced with tyrany and despair.

excellent write Chanti
but it is written in his face
and eyes the terror
he has lived through every day
in his few years of life.
Love & Peace be with you

Chanti,
Powerful in its truth and evocation, haunting, disturbing and unfortunately all too true. Thank you for this.

This one strikes out with the force of a sledgehammer to the heart...so much reality and pain in these few words and all too much to think about as we know how much torture is still going on in this so called civilized world of ours. It's so nice to see your name come up again on the list of new poems...Chanti I can only say you have been sooooooo missed. Welcome back
hugs

Powerful statement, Chanti. When indeed? And who will stop the
madness? Who will save the children? Who will save us all? These
are questions as old as time. -gene. |

Thanks for all the reviews fellow ADers. It's been a long time since I've posted anything up on AD but not for lack of inspiration.
Michelle, my dear friend, the inspiration for this was the photo. Children at war has long been a bone of contention for me and images of children with guns in Africa have always haunted me. I once wrote a poem called 'I see the War in your Eyes' which I posted up here that chronicles this horror from my own perspective. This was another in the same vein. When will the madness stop? |

Such a shame that he may never be able to share what he has seen, where he has been and what he has done or what has been done through the years. Thank you Chanti for a touching write.
Newfie hugs, Rose |
