The Boy in the Window

 

So tell me something oh little child

helpless one so meek and mild

tell me what you see out there

your thoughts so innocent as you stare

outside your window blood will shed

as you witness this vision in your head

bodies and limbs cover the streets

a crying child at his lifeless mothers feet

behind your window frightend and all alone

with no more family and no more home

wise enough to stay so silent and so still

knowing soon they will they come and search for more like you to kill

I see you standing there all alone from across the way

and for your life and safety I do now pray

until nightfall comes when I will bring you safely back with me

and into my comforting arms you will at last now be

as I will protect you the best  that I can

from these brutal solders with bloody hands

for they are beast whose burdens woe

upon our doorsteps where they behold

loaded guns that target upon our fear

for they will shed not a single tear

for the orphaned child in the window who stands helpless and alone

with nothing left to loose for they have already taken from you all that you will never own
