Civilian Casualties Sidelined OR Whose War Is It...?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber
We read and hear much on this or that political platform about Global Warming and the global economic downturn etc.
Considering various conflicts across the world, whatever happened to the Global Conscience?
CIVILIAN CASUALTIES SIDELINED or WHOSE WAR IS IT...?
People left homeless,
losing limbs,
civilian death toll rising,
NATO focusing
on its troop numbers
Children left orphans,
losing limbs,
dying before their time,
NATO playing
the usual blame game
Families left weeping,
losing heart,
making ends meet
as best they can,
fighting a losing battle
Media left observing
lost limbs,
civilian death toll rising,
NATO focusing
on its troop numbers
World left wondering,
why?
