War
There was chaos and destruction all around
People running around and scampering for cover
The sound of bombs puncuated the air
This was followed by the painful sound of tears
Bodies here
Bodies there
Grief and sorrow everywhere
Families destroyed,torn and tattered
Among the debris and rubble a family somehow survived
The little boy was bleeding red
The little boy was feeling scared
He asked his mother-"mom why are missiles being fired at our home?
What wrong have we done?
What is our fault?"
His mom said-"the fault my son is of the times we live in
We live in the most power-hungry and heartless era of mankind
And they are firing missiles 'coz they don't fear Almighty
'Coz human lives don't mean nothing to them."
It's so sad and disheartening that war has become such a common thing today
I never imagined that the degredation of mankind would be so rapid
When will this insanity end?
How many more lives will be taken?
How many more childhoods will be destroyed?
How many more dreams will be shattered?
How many?
Dear GOD...please help the weak and the oppressed
Please give their families the strength and courage to go through these tough times
Please take them under your refuge
And please give them justice
The horrors of war cannot be expressed through words...only he who has gone through the trauma and the pain will truly understand it.As an outsider i can only try to recapture those horrifying moments.
