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!!

Sad and tragic a poem of darkness that has fallen and awaiting the raising of the sun. A plea for help on a cold night of hunger and death. Nicely written
