Blessed I Am

Bullets and blood, 
And people are dead,
There are many,
Who live in fear,
There are children, 
Without any care,
Devils are on run,
Chasing the innocent.

Who knows when,
Life becomes a curse,
Tears have dried, 
Smiles are forgotten,
Happiness is lost,
Humanity has frozen,
When I see,
World around me,
I realize how blessed I am,
To be with my loved ones.
