| Think of the children before you fire those guns,
Think of the daughters, sisters, brothers & sons;
Think of the children in a war they do not understand,
Think of their fear when war came to their land;
Think of the reasons you are going to fight,
A show of strength, A show of might;
Think of the children's nameless dread,
When all they love will soon be dead;
Think, all they will have to hold is deaths icy hand,
Though they did not ask war to come to their land;
Think of the orphaned & widowed too,
And is it worth it? Anwer me true;
Then think of the daughters, sisters, brothers & sons,
And if it is worth it, then fire those guns.
D.J.Quinn (1996) |
