A Letter to War

In Syria there are kids who hate war and sing for peace,
they are thirsty and hungry and want of bread a piece,
they hate fear and bombs and want the war to cease,
they duck from bullets and death, they want it to decrease,
Oh dirty war, go away and the roses of peace release,
we, the children, want Syria a country of love and peace.
