Flames and Ashes

Woke up inside a dream of flames and ashes
Burning bridges and damaged homes
Families fighting and dying without remorse
Looking up in the sky with dust and rust
Bullets and missiles filled the red atmosphere
Carrying multiples of gases and deadly smokes
No animals are worth living in the Earth's Hell
Where was the source of this carnage?
Goverments collied with ruthless aggression
Over control, power and wealth
Mother Earth is dead under the feet and lifeless bodies
Scared children and those trying to survivors
Seek shelter underground till wars are over
Hearing a bullet coming from the opposite direction
Piercing straight through my exposed chest
Waking me up out of the terrible dream
