Children wearing bombs




I've seen them on the T.V.
Children wearing bombs
To kill the infidel
To right the ancient wrongs


I've seen the victims’ faces
They could be you and me
I wonder if they realise
That all the world can see
I've heard all their excuses
Their reasons for excess
Yet wonder still why death
Is their measure of success?


Why do books of love,
Inspire so much hate?
And why are starving children,
Abandoned to their fate?


Is it God that drives the violence?
Do prophets feed the hate?
Or is it men that spread the cancer
And have we left it all too late?
