Cannon Fodder

During the dark of the night do the children sleep in peace Or are they laying awake shaking with fear through the night When will the missiles scream to announce they are again on their way In the morning how many mothers will cry For their emotions of grief are boiling too high Knowing that more of their children in the dark of the night did die All because Putin wants to be seen by the world as an almighty leader with might Does he not see himself as a child killer and a slaughterer of the innocent It's my belief that his own children family and friends are safe from any war Why is it that dictators put the innocent population as cannon fodder
