Poem: Another Newspaper Clipping

**Cr187** · 09-09-2006, 08:11 AM

I wish I was younger, not bothered by the world
Just one more naive child, an ignorant little girl
What would have happened if I never knew of war?
Never learned of death, and never knew what we're fighting for?

Would this world be a better place if there was only peace?
Where everyone got along, and everyone agreed?
Or does there need to be a battle to make the truth be known?
For justice to be won, for honor within your home?

It's another newspaper clipping, another story about a life
A life that is now lost through the bombings in the night
It's just another newspaper clipping, a story of a child lost
The story of the dying parents, losing the only child that they've got

It's another newspaper clipping

I remember the day it happened, the day of nine eleven
The day when so many innocent souls departed and went to heaven
Was there enough room in heaven for all those souls?
Or was heaven full, and they had no place left to go?

Would this world be better if humans were never born
If Adam and Eve had never broken the promise they swore?
Would this world be better if nobody knew of war?
If they actually knew the reason that they were fighting for?

It's another newspaper clipping, another story about a life
A life that is now lost through the bombings in the night
It's just another newspaper clipping, a story of a child lost
The story of the dying parents, losing the only child they got

It's another newspaper clipping

Another newspaper clipping tells the story of her death
The story of an innocent, breathing her last breath
Another newspaper clipping breaks the heart of a family's hope
Telling them that their son is dead, and he won't be coming home

It's another newspaper clipping, another story about a life
A life that should still exist, still knowing everything's alright
It's another newspaper clipping, the story about a child lost
And the parents dying for her, knowing that her life has stopped...
