Where has the Children Gone?

*Don't be fooled by the nature descriptions at first
----------------------------------------

Leaves emerge like a green cloud
The red sun rises and sets once more
yellow bees dancing upon pollen grounds
Everything gleaming just like before

Cocoons crackles from dangling trees
rivers, lakes, and oceans flow quietly
Birds slashing silence away from the air
Awaking a tired, grumpy dawn

Forests untouched by ripping sounds
Abandoned bricks scattered all around
Ignorant of the silence lingering
And the strange giants who once ruled the ground

Forgetful of that destructive day
Where black clouds strangled the weeping sun
Unknown to the fire burned from hate
Where every life and hope became undone

Raging blood war from inside out
Casting aside all virtues and doubt
Cursing the ones they love the most
Forgetting what life was all about

So the sky keeps on raining tears
Flooding lands where bombs broke the land
Nature restored, unaware of the silence
Only knowing freedom away from human hands

    I really like this poem, you seem to have a very clear focus which you kept the entire way. You just have some verb tense problems, "Has" in the title should be have. Also "Cocoons crackles" should be crackle. These mistakes distract the reader from the poem a bit. In the second to last stanza, the last line seems a little misfit. Besides that, this is a very good poem.
