The Children in the Street

I see the many faces of children on the street

No tears,

No sign of heartache

Only a silent defeat

They stare at the cameras

While people take pictures

No expression,

No mention,

Of what's to come in their future

People say, "I feel so sorry for them"

But words cannot complete the actioins

When you lose everything,

Everybody,

Words are an empty waste of distractions

To the children of this devastation

To the children alone in the ruined streets

I remind you that happy days

Soon you will meet

A happy day will come

For these children in the streets
