Born In War
She is supposed to get to live to enjoy life
Her birth is in war
with no baby clothing available
but a blanket and a pillow
Her mother screams
higher than loud booms around
higher than the voices of politicians
It hurts to give birth during wars
She is in a tent
donated by good people
who donβt believe in war
but in love
Her little world is a war
The skies are dark and grey
and a lot stands in her way
not only this war
She joins her motherβs cries
wrapped with the grey blanket
Cries of rockets heard as well
emigrants from other tents cry too
Fear breaks into her tent
Smoke coming out of the tent
mixed with cries, screams, and wails
The tent shakes
The tent collapses
Her mattress is rubbles
Her blanket is ash
Her cries gone in vain
Just like humanity
Silence!
Many babies don't expect to come to this life to start it in war, but they do.
