THROUGH
THE
EYES
OF A
CHILD
All too often,
it is the eyes
of the children
of this world
which witness acts
of unspeakable brutality,
These are visions
that can scar a lifetime

 

Emotional scars
leave wounds that weep
long after
the body has healed...

Among children who have been robbed of childhood,
laughter
no longer
comes easily.

Homes
that once provided warmth--
that sheltered family, happiness
and security--
are suddenly twisted
into grotesque and dangerous reminders
of how life
used to be...

 

Screams and terror often
fill the night,
emotional numbness
clouds the days

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hunger
is the most constant
companion.
Life is reduced to survival.
