There are children in the darkness
Who have not seen the light
There are children in the darkness
Who someone will teach to fight
Chalk and blackboards will not be
To this door there is no key
From this life they can not flee
And these children are not free
Could we simply light a candle
Could we give them half a chance
Could we teach them how to read
Could we teach them how to dance
Or will a war consume them
Their body and their soul
Will their life and blood be poured
Down some endless thirsty hole
Back into the darkness
From which there is no flight
Back into the darkness
Into which there shines no light
This poem is about children being trained by Al-Qaeda to be terrorists next time. They were kidnapped by the Al-Qaeda Group to help them perform kidnapping so as to raise funds for Al-Qaeda through the ransom. These children do not attend normal school like we do, and all they are exposed to is just weapons, killing and more killing, which is being referred to as "darkness" in this poem.
