World is cruel, it's dark, it's cold
The cruelty within, has anyone ever told
World is cruel, it's dark, it's cold
World of peace is nowhere to hold
Soldiers fight on a foreign land
To bring the peace, and get buried in the sand
Conquering everything, does it make you happy?
To destroy the world to make a better place
Tell me? How is it?
Millions die, innocents are killed
Survivors with no roof, struggle to live
Whose fault is it?
Is it the world? Or the humans?
It's the human greed, a sin common among billions
Soldiers have to fight, with no place to hide
Their loved ones waiting to get a glimpse of their shadow
They say, "Duty calls I'll be back tomorrow"
When a letter comes from home
Their joy knew no bounds
They want to get back home fast
And a flash of joy rebounds
But duty calls and they're duty bound
Without saying goodbye, they lay lifeless on the ground
Their loved ones still patiently waiting
Unknown to them, only a dead body awaiting
"Mama don't cry I did my best"
He tries to wipe her tears but fate was already set
He could only watch as his parents cry
Because it ain't matter, no matter how hard he tries
However their martyrdom was never in vain,
With heavy burden, their sins were washed away in the gentle rain
Even in solitude, there is a bliss
There are things we'll always miss
When we kill, we don't kill humans, we kill the humanity that lies within
War is a failure in everything
It took away our most precious thing
~ Eli
This poem is dedicated to the soldiers, it also tells us about the world and lives lost in war
after soldiers die, they can only watch as their dear ones cry.
Respect the soldiers, without them you won't be at home spending time with your dear ones.
Hope you like it. Have a great day.
