6.War
Zain Hassan, M2F1
Happiness, a faraway dream,
From their eyes we watched it drain their gleam,
Then the sorrow overtook the field,
And from far away, we heard screams,
Women and children, begged and pleaded,
Citizens and soldiers each one of them acceded,
Lies, disparity, disloyalty as no familiar concepts,
Trust, laughter and prosperity, all foreign prospects,
Death, a fate that mocks us all,
The casualties it reports are truly tall,
And on us, the masses, it takes a toll.
