I Realized There No Where To Hide In War

Title:I realized there no where to hide in WAR
March 9, 2022
The heat is rising on both sides
War is what there screaming and shouting
As individuals scrambled around
 there homes looking for a  safe place to hide
hide
hide
hide
this voice plays in my head a thousand times before the war is about to begin
But where
There no where  to run
I hear the bombs and the sound of gun shells
Dropping towards the ground
The truth is no one every wins when it comes to war

BOM BOM BOM
As the first missles drops from the sky from  are enemies.
No where to hide
I can' t stand the screams and the crying
Everywhere I look it seem like nothing but blood everywhere and died bodies
I can't look no more
I ran 
I ran
I ran
as fast as  I could to try avoid the screams and people crying
I looked for my family
I looked for friends
I looked for any survivors
But everywhere I turned
all I saw  was died bodies 
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere
died bodies
individuals 
screaming and crying
I was angry
and very disappointed
I looked towards the dark cloud skies
Screaming
God 
WHY
I realize
that one-day we all will have to die
So I kneeled down on my knees
and pray that those who didn't survive
including myself
will make it home to see there maker
I rather see the light
Then to spend another day on earth
 seeing this darkness from the war
