WAR ~ FREE VERSE

A rain of bullets pounding the ground
the lightning and thunder of a bomb
tornadoes of yellow and green color
a war pursues

Can't wait to see them
my family I wish to embrace
this war I fight
goes on and on
and all I think about
are my loved ones far away

The bomber pilots swooping down
tanks clearing the way
foot soldiers taking hostages
we are all prisoners of this war

In the camp, we hear the plane
too late its dropped its load
so now these tears I cry
are for the ones I'll never see
in this one moment
I cry for what I have lost
