Little lives taken away, babies gone and there was nothing they could say.Fear they felt and pain inside for they didn't know why someone would want to take their lives.Here but a short time, done nothing wrong commited no crime.Trying their best to stay alive because for some heartless reason nobody seems to care if they die.Struggling to see where all the care has gone,fighting to understand where things went wrong.Wanting to breath yet another day but not sure they will without it being taken away.No understanding for what they're put through,answer this question for me how much harm can an innocent child possibly do you?Stop and look into their eyes,then you will finally hear the baby cry.

is this about abortion? or refugee children? You make a good point, either way.

One suggestion, maybe it is just me, but i find it hard to read a poem that is written in a paragraph....it would flow better for the reader if it was written out 'vertically'

Example:
Little lives taken away,
Babies gone and there was nothing they could say.
etc.

You can decide where to put the breaks.
