War

Streets are blazing 
Feels like the whole world’s at war 
 In an all out brawl.
Gun shoots echoing threw the streets 
Afraid to come out for my death I might meet.
Solders on every block
Gathering people in flocks.
Then there’s a knock 
Slowly my heart begins to stop 
Wondering who it could be?
Terror runs threw my veins 
Seems like if they clam my soul the war they’ll win.
So I close my eyes,
And tried to find a place to escape.
As the steps become closer.
Heavens gates open up.
BOOM!!!
I heard one last shoot
