That little boy, standing in the dark
You know he saw it all, all the heartache  
The little boy standing by your bed
The little boy with a bullet in his head

That little boy, who wished for a bike
Who got death as a birthday surprise
That little boy who only died for the reason
Of being an offspring of these people

For being the boy from this land
For having the misfortune of giving a helping hand
To the people from his blood, who shared his faith
He’s  the little boy who swallowed the deceitful bait

He’s the little boy running in the streets
Seeing the big army man with a rifle and destructive machines
The big army man who looked in the boys eyes
The frightened dark eyes who emitted helpless cries

The big army man with an angry sneer
Who slapped the boy and dragged him out of the street
Who shot the little boy in the head
Who filled his frail tiny body with lead

The little boy you see in your dreams
The little boy with the echoing screams
The little boy standing by your bed
The little boy with a bullet in his head

I think it's a very powerful poem. It's a very sad story. This is an amazing poem

I like this. It shows so perfectly how allthe war and hate in the world todaydetroys the lives of far more then those involved in fighting.

Shows how senseless and futile war truely is. Sad and heart-rending, but so profound and honest that's it's beautiful in it's sadness.

I agree 100%. They didn't ask for this - yet they are the ones who will have to bear the biggest impact, as their futures are being destroyed

"The little boy with a bullet in his head":
Have you seen the movie "lord of the war"? Well it starts with something like this...

its so sad thinking in this, how cold must be a man's heart to kill a child just, other hand its so true that little boys like this die every hour in that stupid war where just politics know why its really happening and all the others just die for those reasons (money, power, injustice) has you said before "god died long time ago"!!

ps 2 favs in one day(for now) :clap:

lol..thanks for all the faves..you are very generous.

no, i have never watched the movie..interesting to know that i got the same line too..must start looking for that movie, sounds interesting.

and just to clarify something, im not being an atheist by saying that the lord has died long ago, im just trying to highlight the fact that faith has died in peoples heart, i mean, god is faith in my world. and by this it allowed every kind of atrocity to crawl on our lands. lol...sorry if im blabbering like an idiot, i just dont want to be verbally attacked by 'some people' who tend to do so on regular basis. :D

Remember, remember,
The fifth of November
The gun powder, treason and plot.
I know of no reason
Why the gun powder treason
Should ever be forgot.
