Howl of pain

Serenity and peace is all that I dream of
Breathing - I am
But eyes open and I see
Blood all over
Bombs thrown in, to break lives around
To break minds
Innocents die
Lives whipped in the name of religion
Mind wonders which God says KILL
Father cries over the loss of his son
Life never would let him forget the last words of his son
“Father, Are you asleep? Where’s Ma?”
Tender years unable to realise the loss of birth givers
A day to celebrate the day of its birth,
And the tender child is ‘gifted’ with its parent’s death
Deserve, does it?
Save the home – The soldiers do
Losing their lives – to the cruelty bleeding the home
Ruthlessness rejoices seeing the blood and broken lives
Life – is all that matters to the lives
But cruelty stings the poison deep in
Silence in cries, Agony in tears
Shriek in hush-hush dead air
Cry of anguish and loss
Quiet in chaos – melancholy
No mind of any God said KILL,
Yet lives take lives.
