Terror In the Night

In the peaceful night The ululating pierced the silence The roar of the big engines Prompted the ears to cock The lamps all got dull and died The people all hushed The thunderous shots Exploded the silence in the air They tormented the spirits of all in despair Obviously in multiple pairs The boots stamped rapidly All over the area Here and there Fear was so dense in the air You could cut it with razor The mothers sobbed in prayer The children trembled in fear The fathers languished in despair Shrill cries filled the air As doors flew open into the air Bright torches lit the helpless faces Dark masks hid the reckless faces Foul words tumbled out of the dirty mouths Prayers murmured out of the angry mouths Furniture were overturned Houses were over burnt Innocent people were slaughtered Culprits walked away in laughter Children witnessed in fear Old people spit curses in anger The sun never seemed to come to life The People wished it would fast arrive When it finally obliged The sight filled their faces with fright The land was crying tears of blood Gloom scratched the hearts of everyone alive
