Children Die

People of Beslan,
Await in anguish and worry,
Praying desperately,
For the release of loved ones dearly,
That have been held captive,
For a period too long,
A nightmare lived in reality,
As bombs explode with fire,
Politicians should never lie,
For a safe mission,
Where there are children,
But Alas!
Blood all over again,
As freedom fighters are angry,
Demanding freedom for their country,
Chechnya fighting oppression,
There are families broken up,
On both sides of the story,
The pain and hurt is too many,
Children of Chechnya and Beslan die,
Considered as casualty,
For the wealthy rich chairs,
Under the bottoms of greedy,
Men of power with no humanity.
