Lament of An Unbiased Breeze From a War Field

Cutest prattles of children I adore Are now the loudest cries I bear Oh, No! The grieves of these abandoned souls The worst sounds I have ever heard Mesmerizing songs of endemic birds I carried have become a threatening alarm now Migratory birds missed the way to their hometown Endemic ones sense no way at all to escape Minerals accumulated river is now of blood spilling over Obnoxious odour it is, I couldn't carry further... Daily prayers and chants I hear have turned into laments with fear Thrumming thunder drums I bring turned out to be the horrible skirmishes Two military factions strictly crafting their plans Echoing the sounds of huge bombs and gunfires Reigned over their people by creating boundaries Unfortunately, this unbiased breeze is same for all Amidst this tormenting situation, I still try to thrive to be a solacing breath to the struggling souls out there If not, I would have become a windstorm and ruined the entire place certainly 21-Oct -2023

As a poem this is splendid, but I can't help the killing of unarmed persons. There is too much evil in this world. Blessings

Cutest prattles of children I adore Are now the loudest cries I bear---Daily prayers and chants I hear have turned into laments with fear---splendidly descriptive laments from the war zone, Supraja. It is hard to watch the scenes of suffering and destruction. A FAVE for highlighting this theme that constantly roils humanity in wars of death.
