break heart break

My heart breaks and breaks and breaks 
No excuse in this world for us
We watch live as one country bombards another
Killing a 10 year old
Shot in the head 
10 

He could  be my son
He could be yours 

Would you lie quiet
If your son was shot dead 
Wouldnt you swear vengeance
There is no end
No end 
No end 
Fuck you 
You who can kill a 10 year old belligerent that you are defending yourself from rocks 
A rock will not kill you
You wield a rifle
Block medicine
Food aid blankets
Heartless devils


My heart can only break 
Spill useless tears hot
For a child orphaned and hurt
Searching in the debris 
For a hand that may be his brothers 
For a heart that may beats his name 
So he can cry into their shoulders
Heaving the weight of this world 
Of bullets and bombs
