War Child

If truth is the first casualty of war

The second casualty is innocence

In a world of perpetual conflict

Where wars start for profit not change

Peace loving people are frowned upon

Pointed out by media, labelled strange

Our politicians decide to take action

On regimes in far away lands

Drop bombs, displace innocent children

They end up with blood on their hands

They refuse the wave of humanity

Safe shelter away from the war

The children left stranded in limbo

No profit in helping the poor
