Blood spattered faces of fear Broken charred remains Anguished children’s tears Shameful legacy of violence Oh Children of Beslan We mourn for you Terror scared lives Brutality’s festering wounds Children’s innocence lost Cruel legacy of hate Oh Children of Beslan We weep for you Love’s light scorned Hope’s promise forgotten Soul’s needs denied Pitiful legacy of ignorance Oh Children of Beslan We pray for you ---© 2004 by Carolyn Gale McGovern-Bowen.
