The first stanza is from my poem- Almost Xanadu
I see everything clothed in glistening sheen.
Around me, all I see is beauty and grandeur.
Heaven seems to have come down to earth.
The sky and the Earth, draped in great splendor.
Anyone who lands in this ‘Elysian Field' will loudly exclaim,
‘If there is a Paradise on Earth. it’s here, it’s here’!
I hear the howl of death and the smell of blood in the air
Monstrous shadows lurk and it's too dark to see.
No beam of light falls, this land is parched and arid.
The only sound is the cry of men who from the face of death flee.
Anyone who steps into this war-torn site will loudly declare
“If there is a hell on Earth, it is here, it is here”
