Nightmarish Life

Oh, fear and fright That's part of life Brought about Through left and right People who claim Visionary sight That causes much Loss of so much life And the rumble of tanks Rolling on And the blasts From various explosions Aren't heard In the corridors of power Those in control need not fear The doomsday hour No fear of hearing planes overhead Symbols of impending death Leaving women and children Gasping their last breath Made from biological dread Chemical warfare Does not exist Except in places such as this Where life is void and life is cheap Death always stalks the street And leaves trails of blood Among the rubble Systematic of a nations struggle Bombed virtually into non existence Left behind poverty stricken and defenceless Once a thriving striving land Now destroyed by its fellow man.
