I don’t want him, please!

Can’t you see what you have done?

You brought this child

In a world of hate.

Please, no child deserves this

He’s far too naive

He won’t understand

Loneliness, lies, horror,

He’s just a child…

Where’s Daddy, Mommy?

When will he be coming home?

He won’t be, my son.

He’s with God now, son.

Why did God take my daddy?

When we he come home?

He won’t. He is dead.

Took a bullet in the chest

All because of war.

What is war, Mommy?

It’s when we fight for what’s right.

Why do we fight, Mom?

I don’t understand.

Why are you crying, Mommy?

The world is so harsh

Too harsh for a boy.

You wouldn’t understand, son.

So young and naïve.

What’s for dinner, Mom?

I’m hungry. Do you hear it?

My tummy growls.

We have little food

Cuz Mommy has no job now

I’m sorry, my son.

You can’t live like this.

He’s just a boy! Just a boy…

He can’t live like this.

I love you, my son.

Please don’t cry it makes me sad

Please don’t cry Mom, please.

I’m sorry, my son.

I shouldn’t have had you, dear

You don’t deserve this.

What is that, Mommy?

Why do you have a gun, Mom?

Bang! Am I dead, Mom?

Why did you kill me?

Bang! Mom? What is going on?

Are you dead too, Mom?

It’s better like this

We are safe from the world now.

I love you, my son.
