About this artwork
You came in like a soldier and took my father away,
I asked Y my father, you said to me its all about war,
You came in again, raining your bullet on my house because we have nothing to give.
I asked Y take the life of my mother, in response you said she's a casualty of war,
You know,
I'm that 5 years old boy who knows nothing what war means but filled with pain and tons of Void in shadow of my thought.
I asked again Y let me live, he reply war… is for the grown ups, so tell the story when you're old or sing about it like Lullaby that goes on for generations.
