The Momma Clan

Most children die in wars

Most women are widowed

Tyrants become heroes when they die

The killer has no geography, religion, name

Every year blood is spilled on another land

Death’s voice is the same in all languages: Ah!

Why do people die in Iraq, Bosnia, Yemen, Ukraine?

I saw the executioner’s face in the mirror

The dove of peace can’t fly long ago

Countries producing bombs more than wheat

Please children, my hope is in you

Love each other, for God’s sake!
