UNKNOWN AGONY

Innocent smile, searching eyes
Shaky legs, born to play
Listening ears, but ignorant mind
I don't know what is war and hate
Friends are dense, non my foes
Unaware of hatred, I start my game
Bang on my face, bang on my ears
Planted land-mine took my legs away
Whom to blame? Who will repair?
Irreversible toll that bloody war has taken
Blood and tear, wound and rage
Is this all you grown-ups have given?
Is this all you grown-ups have given?
