He took her life,
Forced with no choice.
She cries and cries and wonders why.
Her mother laying on the rocky ground bleeding
Don't leave me, don't go, why did you take her?
This happens everyday, hundreds of souls taken with no meaning
This once happened to their society, millions died with no choice
Why would you do that if you went through it too?
Although we suffer far more than you ever once did
There is no comparison to what is happening now and what had happened before
The little girl sniffles, her teardrops soak her thin t-shirt
The soldier proudly looks down at her mother
Smirks, kicks her and walks away freely
He thinks he's superior, he thinks he won
"I am better than you, you filthy Palestinian"
He turns away and laughs even harder than before
She quickly pulls the trigger, and kills him so sweetly
Revenge, she wanted, and her eyes start to tear again.
He shouts, and he hollers "pain in my side"
The little girl is happy, but looking down, her face is filled with remorse.
She tries again to wake her mom,
Getting no pulse, no breathing, no smile.
She is about to let go of her dead mothers hand,
When her mother squeezes her hand for what felt like a lifetime.
Finally, the little girl turns away, looking for a place to bury her mother
When a soldier walks by and witnesses this horrid scene
He quickly pulls out his gun, and shoots the little girl down
She tries to crawl away, but BOOM, it fires again.

The theme is great. It clearly shows the humiliation and suffering of innocent lives. This poem just shows how things can get out of hand and how evil war can get. Why people do this? The question still remains. Nonetheless, great poem, very clear and I like how you formatted it into a story.
