Have you seen how poison gas peels
the flesh off a baby?
Everything melts away except
for skin under the diaper.
Have you noticed how
a bullet pulls destruction
through
all the layers of a child?
These children, our world’s hope,
were too small to know
how full of God they were,
the pure crystal shimmer,
precious and holy.
how full of God they were,
the pure crystal shimmer,
precious and holy.
