A Day of Death

by @Pauline_Morris

A crime buried without justice is never laid to rest Those that where responsible never addressed The exploding bombs had chased them to the basments They thought women and children would be safer in this containment But these bombs that droped did not explode It had a much deadlier payload The gas it trun lose was Sarin by name This nerve gas played no games So much heavier than air, it's deadly fingers reached down Right to where all the women and children could be found Quit and deadly, they hadn't a prayer They where all so caught unaware Until their lungs wouldn't work Then the muscles twitching and jerk Mothers agonizing screams filled the air Me and my Children are dying they declared Bombs delivered the gas Now families and children twitch in deaths dance No real hospital for miles Poorly equipped clinics filled up, people laying in the aisles Frothing at the mouth, pupils only pinpoints Death came to many that day, it did not disappoint The dead laid in rows in clinics, mosques, and streets Over thirteen hundred the lord had to meet And as the living took care of the dead, in their graves they lay Still no one is punished for this crime upon them, not even to this day
