Such important words, Caro … I have my story ‘Little Butterfly’ out again, re-reading it before submitting it to a competition, words to keep eyes on the human cost, the price children pay in these conflicts that are the playthings of inattentive politicians. Thank you for your poem, a clarion call, and a reminder to me that words like your and mine can never be shared enough. ~Barrie

Sorry I'm so late responding, Barrie! Yes, the children! Oh, the children! We need to keep our eyes wide open.
Put to music, what a sad song this would be. Perhaps better unsung.
I'm so sorry about the late response, Gerard! It would be more dirge-like if put to music. So, yeah, better unsung.
