Sadness, over whelming sadness

Nothing feels right, nothing`s the same

Everywhere I look, I see pain

Why`s this happening, who`s to blame?

 

A dark cloud hangs over us all

Destruction to be seen all around

The smell of death is in the air

As fires rage here on the ground

 

Gun shots heard very close by us

Bombs falling as we run for cover

Buildings exploding from behind

I will this devastating war was over

 
Bodies lay where they had fallen

I`m running blindly through it all

Diving for cover as guns fire

Should  get through, I mustn`t stall !

 

The helicopter waits ahead

My escape from all this horror

Evacuated from my home


The enemy as brought such terror.

A photo in the National Geographical caught my attention and made me realise how lucky we are.  I feel all the war torn countries.
