Every
single day is a living war!
It’s
not too close. It’s not too far.
Twenty-four
hours in a battlefield;
Some
live; others are killed.
A
baby born in warm atmosphere;
He
cries while his parents cheer.
He
wonders what happened or he scares?
Nobody
knows! Nobody cares!
As
teenager he has to learn;
Something
he loses; something he earns.
For
his future he has built up his mind;
His
attitude, and his behavior inside.
To
survive in the long run;
He
has to fight and has no fun.
(Germantown, March 3, 1998)
