War of Red
Underneath blood red sky there was an unforgettable fire,
burning away hopes and dreams into a blaze of smouldering ash.
Unheard screams with surprised attacks stabbed in the back
by enemy hands drawing guns and blowing up homes taking land,
with prisoners of war stuck in cells of hellish confinement.
Black clouds loom overhead with many soldiers dead,
many families severed with broken limbs and aching hearts
crying over the loss of their loved ones.
Weeping in sorrow not thinking about tomorrow with memories
lingering beneath the blood red sky.
