1of 1000's
I can only cry out in pain for I am too tiny to talk. My limbs are all bandaged so you know I can't walk. The doctor makes his rounds with a gun in his hand For the looters don't care about their own human kind.I am 1 of those 1000's who have been maimed in this war
A bomb destroyed our home and took my parents lives. I have lost my sight so how am I to survive.Painful as they are they would have to do. My memories would have to see me through. I am 1 of 1000's orphaned by this war.
Twenty five years and eager to help. I volunteered to translate for those eager to tell.A bomb was dropped on this friendly group and my life was gone in an instant poof. I am 1 of 1000's who died in this war.
No one wants to accept responsibility for my untimely demise.Friendly fire is not a policy of the bombers in the sky.We will show you evidence but it is not to tell that our men on the ground are erring as well.I am 1 of 1000's who are statistics of this war.
