ONCE CALLED HEAVEN

ONCE CALLED HEAVEN

 

There was a land where peace would stay,

Where dawn would sing and children play.

They called it Heaven, pure and bright,

A world of love, bathed in light.

 

But hate crept in, a silent spell,

And turned that light to fire and hell.

Now ashes lie where flowers fell—

A place once Heaven, now called as Hell.

 

Yet deep beneath the darkened sky,

A seed of hope still dares to try.
