Rains of Parmethia


In the tumult of the night
We all knew fear
Sadly for many of us
It would be a final night

The fires blazed that night
And we watched with wary eyes
As soldiers fought to save all they could
It was truly a horror that night

In our history it is our blackest night
Thousands were massacred
Millions were displaced
It forever changed us that night

In the tumult of the night
We all knew fear
But the next day brought rains
With grit some would see another night

War does forever change a person, as do other life events; I cannot fathom war, but you have helped me visualize it.
