Who knows who are the casualties of war? Are they the wounded, maimed, and all the dead? Who counts the orphans, widows, those displaced? The untold truth, a light on this can shed I also am a casualty of war My soul is wounded by the grief I see The war is raging here inside my head I am held hostage,...

War casualties
Innumerable souls got detached from their bodies Like leaves falling off from their trees The war is going against the clock And the folks there are choking from the smoke The minds of them are made with the beads of bravery Their voice knows no quavery the air around them is burning The places surround are turning lakes and rivers...

Choruses, Bridges and Breaks
The chorus blazes, chaperoning the gloomy pollution of mortal extinction. Bridges of anxiety rupture harmony, as havoc reigns from the skies of Ukraine. The breaks condition ruin, while these paintings exhibit the atrocities of battle, as the prey can only pray when the predators are pursuing. The chorus of a familiar song, the bridges that...

Duress and death and flies persist but I can't rest, or I won't rise While on I press, relays of mist that graze beside me now and then, make red my dead and distant eyes but raise my listing head again Unhinged, ashamed, yet still servile, I aim and brave men atomize to ginger haze around me, while ghosts and grenades fill the skies......

Casualties of War
Casualties of war Godlike? No. Human? Maybe. Yet living above the bones of dead babies. Who fell to their deaths from the top of the world, The forgotten, the miscarried, the unfortunate boys and girls. Now the babies lie with bullets, Sanctity no longer exists. Once upon a time, we were all for it, Now we just wish this war...

Walk with pride, with your head held high Conflict and war is not your fault Face turns away whilst tears you cry. You can't understand this, who knows why, When will all these emotions finally halt Walk with pride, with your head held high You were called to fight to kill or die Highly trained killer with senses taut Face turns away...
