To be so desperate

To be so desperate 
to lift your baby in the air
so the army can take it
and save its life
to give up your infant
so it can have a better life
so it can have a life

To hide at home 
to hide your face
so they can't hurt you
but they find a way to hurt you
they find a way to suck life and joy out of this world
till we are all too scared to move

not being able to leave 
the place 
with the people 
that will terrorize you
without a second thought
not even caring about the life
they ruined
by ending 

all you can do is hope
but you wish so desperately you could do more
you want to do SOMETHING 
till you scream into the dark night 
to be so desperate
