Blood In the Street

As we drink peacefully under the moon With a long cow's horn caved beautifully We also dip our hands in one plate With smiling faces and beautiful fingers Free from guilty and blood Picking the pieces of fish in the sweet soup. We prayed for oneness and love Among our folks under the half white moon We also interceded for our great country The leaders thereof, We prayed to see one another like this tomorrow. But suddenly, we heard a louder noise A sharp sound boomed We were frightened with our spirits Jumping out from our body. Then< they entered and began to kill . We do not know them We only saw them as terrorist. Next we saw blood all over the street Men could not go after their wealth Nor women after their children. They killed in thousand with bomb Buried in the ground Blood of the innocent and babies Men and women, of youth and teenagers Spread in the street like water Just like the days of the civil war. They killed all our brothers and sisters Left us naked in the dark Even those we believed to see tomorrow are gone weeping. Those we dined together five seconds ago Were all gone in tears Their blood spread all over the street.
