Why?

by Ehsaan Shaikh aged 8

I hear the news
I see the tears
If I only knew why humans
Have to lose

The war is happening
I don’t know why
Haven’t we learnt it doesn’t work
To hurt each other
When we are all just brothers?
But we are just seeing fear
On the faces of our mothers.

I see the people walk away
Pretending it isn’t looking their way.
We need to learn to help each other
And become humans who see each other.

Wipe the tears from our mother’s face
And let the war stop raging in hate
We are all together in this world
Please let us remember to stay united
And become humans who win together
Not break each other.
