Violence

Sans the souls
Bodies are scattered all around.
It's raining blood everywhere as
the violence crosses all margins:
Streets and roads have turned red.

Babies are crying in the wombs
and so are the Mothers; whilst
laying helplessly on the lanes,
Nobody is for nursing.

People are running for their lives.
Shooting and bombing are echoing 
throughout the seven seas;
and the mighty black smoke 
has eaten the sun's light.

I'm crying alone in the dark,
trembling with extreme dread;
wondering which era is this!
