#3. GIVE US THE CHILDHOOD

We came to celebrate eid with you
We're asking you about the eid
Why we don't have eid or decoration?
Oh world
Our lands are infected with fire
Our free lands are stolen
Our skies are dreaming and asking the days
Our lands are stolen
Our land is small like me, young!
Give us the peace
And give us the childhood.

The above will be familiar mostly to the Arab world. For so long children have been made to partake in wars they know nothing of, the little ones becoming a victim of the horrific moments caused by our so called selfish, self centered leaders, becoming a casualty of wars based on vengeance, greediness, racism etc.
There are days when I'm unable to sleep, and lay confidently on my pouch, knowing there re children out there on the streets, under bridges, in the dumps or out there in the forest, desert and so on. Who can't even get a good hour rest and yet we lay peacefully on our beds believing its none of our concern. Well, I tell you evil has a good way of growing and spreading very fast if not quench immediately. We are one, either black or white, christian or Muslim, western or northern, we remain one and together we can help a million children out there. They shouldn't be allowed to witness the horror the sky that ones poured peace, rains on our Land.
Pass this on and support a child and make the world a better place for the children for they are the future of the world.
Our Prayers are with you Children of war victims around the globe...
Be strong and bold, for you all we will create movement stronger than the wars and together we will leave the world better than we met it.
