Marcia P. Samuels - A Grain Of Sand

WAR: TEARS OF A DYING CHILD - A spoken Word Poem by Marcia P. Samuels

Marcia Samuels

I penned this poem when the war in Ukraine first began, unaware that just a few years later, innocent babies would be suffering and losing their lives in Gaza. The cries of these babies represent not only those two conflicts but also all the wars that have occurred, the ones currently raging, and the unfortunate ones that lie ahead. Innocent lives will bear the heaviest burden, their tears leaving a mark, and their cries resonating through the air, never will their tears be silence.
