Cry for Help

   A land of mystery;
   A land of love
   in a place where voices are heard ;
   where everyone loved each other 
   A place of peace 

   Fathers listening to radio ;
   while some farming all day and night 
   Sons following their fathers

   Mothers in the market 
   Daughters assisting their mothers  
   bargaining and trading;
   in the market square 
   where all goods are fresh
   sold in cheap quantities;
   in high qualities 

   Decade later;
   a place where peace reigns
   now a place of where war rules
   A desolated place indeed
   Sounds of gun shots;
   like a normal drum beat
   Dead body surplus
   Killing innocent souls
   grave more than houses

   The food bank of the nation;
   now a land of famine 
   Relocating to their neighbouring town;
   to work and eat
   Working harder 
   Eating smaller;
   Eating from hands to mouth 
   Restore the food bank of the nation 
   GOD HELP US!!
