Dear little chum, Here is my open letter to you. Misery is like a carnival, humming by in waves of the blast. echoing through the Thundering skies from miles away the scream of fireworks And sparkling lights become blood rain, it pours with the color red you poor Lil soul might be excited painting puzzle with your dead blood. Dear little chum, I can hear your shout on the wind, My heart clogged by mysterious throbbing my tears want to blast like a missile I don't know where to jump on the land of blood. I have put myself in your place for an instant I don't know how do I persist here, someone pinned my tongue the air is too toxic to breathe. there is nowhere to go, nowhere to hide I am fading here every day. I'm terrified to death, and I don't comprehend why Just holding my deep breath, but I can't even cry. Feeling as I'm drenching alone in a lake No one to support me but me for my sake I couldn't sleep because of the human noise It's challenging my strength I can't tolerate it anymore This soreness goes so wide to treat just Right down to my core. Dear little friend my basket of burdens, occupied with the screaming of humanity who is dying every day It is so weighty to carry Although this path we must cross. Dear little chum, I can see your frozen eyes I can feel your poor little soul I know it's not your time to leave but cruelty The blue skies turn to grey No more stories to explain your ache no place to bury your Lil soul your humanity is precious to me Your memories will never fade. Life on earth is glowing and indeed with the shadow of blood.

My heart bleeds for all the innocent children affected by conflicts around the world. I couldn’t help but feel sad whenever I hear news about children hurt in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
I just pray that children get spared in the many conflicts that happen in many parts of the globe.
It is really really sad. It is hard to explain how I feel right now. But I want to say Thank you for this poem reminder, life isn’t a pink bubble. Right now I’m going to hug my kids.
This is devastating. Hope the conflict ends and may those grieving find peace.
This really hurts my heart. Thank you for sharing, off to make some donations.
This is so powerful. I love the way you delivered this awful message of sadness and grief through a metaphor of something that is usually part of a joyous occasion.
This is sad, so sad!!! i grief for every family, mother and father that lost a child, so sad!
This was such an incredibly powerful poem. The way you contrasted what should be so joyful and used it as a medium to convey so much pain. Touching.
Sometimes, I ask this question to myself, why do we have so much conflicts all around the world. And why do a kid has to suffer for it. The kid is probably thinking wow, there are some fireworks in they sky. But they don’t realize this as their last fireworks. Feeling so sad for those kids in Palestine and Israel. This poem is full of emotions, You articulate it so nicely. My heart is bleeding after reading your poem. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful and powerful poem you’ve made. My heart is aching imagining all the people affected and especially the children.
it is beautiful and oh so sad. thank you for this post, it touches my soul
Children do not deserve to know of wars, of hate and conflict. It is a sad reality though that this still happens in many parts of the world. I hope and pray that someday, all we will have is peace.
This is very painful to read. There is so much conflict and children often get caught in the middle of it. They really have little say about what is happening…
Conflict is always bad, but it has to be especially painful to live through as a young child. I am grateful I never had to experience anything like this.
A lovely and moving poem. I am praying for peace and love to heal this conflict that is killing so many on all sides.
The poem does get you thinking about many different things.
I feel bad for the children. The fear that is instilled in them for a long time will be forever in their hearts and minds. I hope war will end soon. They don’t deserve it.
Aaahhhh….reading this poem has me asking myself if we adults really love ourselves….to the point that we are ready to kill kids simply because they were “collateral damage”! Thank you for sharing.
This is such a powerful piece. It really touched me. It so awful that there are children fighting just to be normal right now and simply survive.
So sad to see what is going on. Such an incredible poem.
I cannot imagine living in a war torn country. No country is perfect- but ever since I moved to the US I have had so much to be grateful for. Hopefully things change for the better ASAP.
What a beautifully written poem. Conflict is always hard, especially when it involves children.
This is so beautiful and sad. The innocent are always the most affected. Such a moving poem.
What a great post. I have a kid who is very gullible.,, Thanks for sharing
Such a heartfelt open letter. With what is happening in the world, I am sure we can’t help but be sad. What I can do is still be positive and pray that everything will be back to normal and praying to have a peaceful world too.
This is heartbreaking. Definitely my heart goes out to the souls in Palestine right now!
Beautifully written, touching, emotional, and it breaks my heart reading this. It does make me think, and go deep to my thoughts. Thanks for sharing this.
It must have been terrifying for the kids. They don’t deserve it. They deserve a much more peaceful environment.
Wow! I’m completely speechless. So heartbreaking.
