I hear thunder beating down
A deafening crackling sound
Orange flashes light up the sky
Stumbling I ask no one... why
Float through scene only to stare
Desolate ... my soul is laid bare
Soldiers boots move in such silence
Faces black to blend in the darkness
Sand swirling amidst the chaos
The world's harmony long lost
Dusty ramshakle deserted town
Militants holding their ground
Smoke from missiles choking me
Desert for miles is all I can see
Hurried voices shouting orders
Families carrying children to borders
Stark reminder of the realities of war
Can people really take much more...
Can't see your handsome brave face
Please tell me you aren't in this place
I can't breathe the cruelty too real
This heartache is too much to feel
Wake me up from this nightmare
Say you aren't there...
War
