Would YOU like to loose your Dad?

Would you like to be buried alive

How about live in fear of a shell,
that'll blow up your house? must be like hell!
or lastly if you were searching through stones
find a bloody corpse, brother, sister, their bones?
What if that was YOU? Do you care?
What would you feel? Is it fair?
Remember they're just the same as you
What you would want us to do??
