Alone, Crying

In a Chinese railroad station
Bombed with malice and hate
A single child remains there
Crying, alone, in pain
The shame of war
Her mother lays dead
Unmemorialized by the world
For her terror is over
But the child now faces
A life lived alone
With no home
Modern men never relent
Modern men reveal no remorse
And the only regrets are for
Personal loss
Regardless of the soul's cost
