It knows no bounds
Man's inhumanity to man
and to women and children,
to the old and the sick

Bombs blasting buildings, bones
Those tiny, fragile shields
with skulls that crush, blood that spills
and innocent minds that shatter

An eye for an eye? A child for a child?
Bodies heaped on bodies, hate on hate
The world will be blinded
unless we step back from the darkness
