Bombs blinded their visions.
Gas chocked their throats.
They were slaughtered like any goat.
I can hear our crying infant only.
She is hungry maybe.
I am sorry to leave you so early.
I couldn't give you a better place, baby.
I hope that your children won't meet
The same fate as your siblings.
They won't choke their throats
Crying helplessly like you.
They won't live a single day
Gasping hopelessly like you.
They won't have to wait for the next meal
Waiting with uncertainty like you.

And I am going to tell him all of this.
So that the sunrise they will see
It will not be as bloody as today is.
