I Don’t Know War

I heard about violence, but I don’t know pain

I heard about injuries, but I don’t know lame

 

I know the weapons, but I don’t know killing

I know people die, but I don’t know dying

 

I saw the blackened earth, but I don’t know hunger

I saw the rubble, but I don’t know ruin

I saw the refugees, but I don’t know fleeing

 

The lucky can say the same

I don’t know war, except in name
