Children of broken promises

Title: Children of Broken Promises (25 Lines) They signed their names in ink made of blood, A treaty scrawled on the bones of the poor. They shook hands under marble skies, While cities burned in silent uproar. Children played with bullets for toys, Lullabies hummed in the throat of a drone. A mother stitched hope into her shawl, But war tore the thread and left her alone. What prayer can pierce a soldier’s ear? What hymn can silence a tyrant’s laugh? They plant flags like daggers in the earth, And call it freedom—this butcher’s craft. The rivers carry whispers of bones, The mountains echo their iron song. History bleeds through pages of lies, As empires fall and yet march on. O children of broken promises, Your cries are etched on a shattered sky. You are the ink in tomorrow’s poems, You are the reason the stars still try.
