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.
