The Lost Innocence  

Theresa Williams

The life of a little girl will never be known

Her passion is lost because of humanity’s lack of compassion

Her life shattered by the bullets from the war

She knows nothing else but pain

Her innocence is lost as she tries to survive in a land full of tragedy

How can she be seen?

This is a child with no voice

Why should her early years of her life be filled with so much anguish?

Memories of her childhood is mired in misery

From the constant bombardment in a war

As she sees her parents die from the artillery guns

War has made this child an orphan

All she can do is sigh

Who will be the voice for a child with no voice?
