A War Like No Other
nico May 2020
They call it a war,
But it is a war like no other
No cannons, no guns
But an enemy more worse than ever
No trenches,
no borders
Yet soldiers drop like flies
second after second

We’re all on the sidelines
Oblivious to all the pain,
All the suffering.
Have you seen the E. D.?
Have you heard the stories
of the people suffering?
That they suffocate to death,
Without loved ones at their side,
Unable to say goodbye.

But there is hope.
There is always hope.
For as they say:
This is a war like no other.
There are no cannons, there are no guns.
But the soldiers who fight
Save lives, not take lives
There are no trenches,
and there are no borders.
But the soldiers who fight
Will fight until the very end.

Too Sweet A Rose
nico Nov 2018
He once was as free as a bird and
As happy as a kitten
Then, Deception welcomed him into her home
She offered him dinner and gifts;
He accepted
It became a fatal mistake
for None are smarter than Deception
She had created his imprisonment;
He was never free again

— The End —
