To: the World

To: The world Please Stop this warfare. I am scared To sleep with bombs Crashing all around me. I walk to school every morning With blood draining into the streets Bones pile on sides of buildings Screams are the music harmony in this country  I call home. I once saw a woman Holding this small girl As bullets flew past their heads And bombs set to end their life. You should have seen the tears That filled their faces, Never have I seen pure terror In such a young face Or a loving elder. There was once a peaceful community In this country Yet this dictator “knows” what is best For all his citizens. Peace is far gone  For this world we live in.

Well done on a wonderfully written poem dear poet :-) Were you writing from experience? Is this based on a specific country?
