As 3 missiles pound the land of my spirit
Watching children pray and longing to come across their parents
Holding tense to wishes wished
Holding tight and saying a prayer
As far-away grows further apart
Paradise seems to get closer
As the land of blameless drown down in sorrow
Battling for no reason praying to see tomorrow
Killings and separation seems to take exploit
Desperate people break down
As tears drain the eyes of innocents

Watching the other side of the world drown
As my heart breaks down
Seeing death before life can take its place
As prayers are being prayed
Innocent die during the prayer
As we hope glory will be held
Falling down, breaking down into tears kneeling to god
Please don’t let it be true don’t take him away now
As they neglect to heal the pain
Leaving them with only wounds that well never be healed
Watching innocent mourn
Yelling do you not have any grief
Pleading them to stop
Imploring them not to
Begging them to leave

As they throw down another
Have you no heart
Watching kids playing
In a split of a second you take their life
So quick to take but so hard to give
Another thought and walk away
SO crude don’t even look back to see what you’ve caused
Just take a bow and toss what you used to take lives
Going back to rejoice what you have done
Knowing that deep down you just caused pain to many innocent
Drowning them with tears that run for the rest of their lives

Drowning Down

As 3 missiles pound the land of my spirit
Watching children pray and longing to come across their parents
Holding tense to wishes wished
Holding tight and saying a prayer

As the land of blameless drown down in sorrow
Battling for no reason praying to see tomorrow

Watching the other side of the world drown

Seeing death before life can take its place

Falling down, breaking down into tears kneeling to god
Please don’t let it be true don’t take him away now

As an American, this may sound contrite, but I feel for you and your people.. It's an injustice, what's been done to the innocents-
I pray that that the leaders of it all, find peace..sooner than later - though sadly, it will come, most likely in the latter-

Be strong my friend-

Very sad but well written.
It's a shame that the innocent suffer for someone elses reasons.
I'm so sorry all this is happening.
God bless you for writing this and I'll keep you'll in my prayers.
The news breaks my heart these days.
luv, huggs, prayer,
emy

Your write made me tear up, images I see in the paper do as well. I am an American who is tired of seeing dead children. It would seem as though no one gives a damn anymore. People continue to kill people all in the name of lands and god. My heart goes out to you and your peoples. All peoples who are suffering in the war machine. When will we ever try peace? War doesn't work. You think our idiot governments would figure it out. Great write, deeply moved me.
Peace to you,
Laura (who loves my country, but fears my government)
