CHILDREN OF GUNS... "Every child deserves to be loved; Nurtured and protected" So I thought as a child...; But; Our Children have been through terror and horror, wars and death; Psychosomatic scars has been inflicted on all of them..." ... Guns at hand, bullets to heads; Weapons unleashed, cuts and stitches; Houses, schools, hospitals, markets and worship places all ablaze; Crowd vanishing; Everywhere, blood stains; Parents on death row, Children on weep row; "No! Don't die!", so they cry. Abandoned, dilapidated and lost; No place to return, no bed, no sleep; Childhood war-torn, shattered world; Memories of bleeding guns and shooting swords; Will they survive...? The images, the sounds; The horror acts of wars; The stench of blood on spree; The vicious faces of warlords, Haunt and taunt them. Pervasive feelings of depression; Anxiety, hopelessness, grief; Antipathy, anger and fear has ripped their strength; Few who survive live in intact silence; Finding solace is being introverted. No goodness, no kindness; No feelings for humanity; Young kids now cold-blooded creatures; With little or no sanity. They are now heartless, merciless; They are full of revenge; They are degraded; They are Children of Guns. They survived wars; They watched their parents die... Having a crepitating crater of hatred and rage, They are out on the streets, "soul for soul" ... Hold on! Oh Children of hurt; Hold on!! Oh Children of vengeance Hold on!!! Oh Children of brokenness; Be calm, Oh Children of Guns. We suffer your soreness; We bleed your cut. Our hearts are as well broken; But the hurtful truth is: - Vengeance isn't the way. ... You can break out of this bond; Time and faith can trim your rage and woes; We beg of you to gulp the pills of clemency; Only then will you find hope, peace and love, more than you lost. We implore you, oh CHILDREN OF GUNS; That you become CHILDREN OF GREATNESS... #CHILDRENOFGUNS #CHILDRENOFGREATNESS #SAYNOTOWAR #STOPTHEKILLINGS #STOPVIOLENCE #PEACE #UNITY #HOPE #LOVE #BEUNE #NORTHERNNIGERIA #SYRIA CHILDREN OF GUNS...
