I am a Kid
I am a kid
Just a kid
I don’t know why I was killed
In a war
I am a kid
Just a kid
I don’t know what a war is
But I am torn into pieces
I am a kid
Just a kid
I don’t know why I should die
Before I live
I am a kid
Just a kid
Longing for kisses
But was killed by bullets
I am a kid
Just a kid
Who wants to grow
But it is waiting to be buried
I am a kid
Just a kid
Who wants to have fun
But was killed by a man with a gun
I am a kid
Just a kid
Waiting to fly in the sky to see the
stars
But I am already on the ground as
ashes
I am a kid
Just a kid
I have not yet seen a dictionary to
understand what a war is
But today, my body is proof of what
war is
I am a kid
Just a kid
Dying for no fault of mine
In a landmine
I am a kid
Just a kid
Like many kids who die
Every day for no fault of ours
Because of the politicians
Who are weapon brokers
Without hearts
Trying to win elections
With their jingoism
If peace and love are not a subject
War and death will continue
Where innocent people will die
The rich and elite will party
With our bodies
M.L.
Narendra Kumar
