34 Young Stares

In the eyes of children
the last to see
the last to hear
the children keep a
wandering eye, staring,
eyes of children of
Ukraine
of Ethiopia and Yemen
In the eyes of children
of Mali
In the eyes of children
of Somalia
for brown eyes, green eyes,
Islamic eyes, American eyes,
all that shows of these children,
in their eyes,
staring at the leaders
of ultimate evil, stands
an average man.
