Mind Chased Peace

Long ago, a brave hearted man took a decision

From everything seemed to be with no good vision

Nothing there was right, everyone needed to live peacefully, but they owned no right

 

Cries of pain and violence raised his anger,

Untrained man who was not much stronger,

He who didn\'t ever fought, tho he joined the army,

With the aim of rescuing and obtaining the lost peace to his county

 

When evil thoughts masked their minds,

Discrimination casted love feelings,

And the bad decision taken, led to the genocide

Like predator and prey, people hunted and killed others;

their neighbors, friends and their families

Blood flowed all over the country, blood of innocent people

 

But lately, the saviours came;

fought the battle, sacrificing themselves,

Fire on fire, they felt the burn but patriotism didn\'t let them back down

At the end, they won the battle, battle of ideology and guns,

And brought back the lost peace and love to their compatriots

 

\"Glory be to patriots for their massive victory, we will keep this in memory,\" people said

They were shocked and sad for their lost people and properties,

But they decided to start a new life without discrimination ideology.
