Marawi's Battle

M - y Marawi, once a home of peace
A - army of Maute, igniting the siege
R - uins, bullets, bombs and screams
A - s civilians flee and innocents die
W - omen and children hear them cry
I - deology waged by hypocrites
S - hamefully disgracing the "Deen"

B - attalions of soldiers of valor and might
A - midst the war, we see them fight
T - ime testified this history
T - errorism shows no mercy
L - ife sacrificed at both sides
E - nmity, I truly despise
