Crimson
The redness of the sky
was merely a hint,
Hint of something big,
Hint of something dark.
The silence in the surrounding
was merely a sign,
Sign of thunderstorm may be,
Sign of something wrong may be.
I don't remember what happened next.
My eyes opened,
What I saw was horrible,
More blood in the soil,
More dead than alive.
It was a question whether I would survive.
What I felt was miserable,
More cruelty and void,
More sadness in voice.
More dust than air,
And people crying "How you dare?"
And that's when I understood.
The redness of sky was nothing but the hint of war.
The silence in surrounding was nothing but
the end of peace.
End of happiness and end of lives.
