A Cold Day

out in the field
struggling to see tomorrow

humankind screaming
for another breath of air

running in circles
nowhere to hide

frightened souls
comforted by death

only way out
is to kill

hopes and dreams
buried beneath rubble

tears forced down the cheeks
of innocence

the sun sets
and the nights are yet to fall asleep

but the arms of tomorrow
bring nothing but pain

in the fields of war
tomorrow will be the same.
