Alarm rang ,as usual I snoozed
It was Monday again, so I wasn’t amused
Wake up its already 8, I am going to Farm
Breakfast is on the table said my mom
Neighboring home was listening to radio
At full volume that I could hear its audio
Flash News said “Country is in a worry”
I couldn't listen more, since I was in a hurry
After getting ready, I headed to school
The weather seemed serene and cool
Teacher started with Three Men in a Boat
While I secretly took out maths book & Note
Since I forgot to do my homework sum
All my prayer was maths sir should not come
Till now all went well and calm
Until we heard the warning Alarm
Principal sir made announcements in the speaker
Listening to them made our hearts weaker
Seems a brutal war has been declared
Lives of the innocents were least cared
School was stopped the very afternoon
We were asked to leave home soon
I was just a school boy, My life was about to kick off
Never expected at an early age it would be struck off
I don’t have a dad and I am only child to my mom
So when I grow up, I want to make her happy and warm
This horrible news was like a loud scream
That woke me up from my distant dream
Trees are bird’s shelter when it rains
My mom was my shelter when it pains
All that came in my mind was her face
I sprinted towards my home with full pace
I heard the sounds of lightning & thunder
It wasn’t of rain but of inhuman blunder
People ran here and there out of fear
Thinking that our end is near
Finally I reached my home, it has became an empty space
Missiles have destroyed our entire place
My heartbeat could be heard even among those noise
Mom Mom I shouted but I couldn't hear her voice
Many people have already got struck
Fire engines have come for relief work
Our entire country turned into a mortuary
Due to the enemy’s missile archery
Within few hours situation turned upside down
Went in search of mom all around the town
Evening arrived, the sun was replaced by moon
Yet war doesn’t seem to end anytime soon
Its been 48 hours since my mom went missing
I just kept myself going by reminiscing
We discovered few bodies ,wasn’t my mom I was glad
Understanding that they were mom of some other, made me sad
We were made to stay in relief camp
Seeing people suffer, gave us heart cramp
Peace at this moment was the only solution
Till now it seems only a illusion
Roads were filled with skull & Limbs
In my life this was gruesome glimpse
One of the hands had my mom’s jewel
Now I got to know she reached heaven to dwell
I lost my mom became a body without soul
Expiring now and reaching her became my goal
I cried, cried and cried
I prayed I too died
For next few days every morning
We all woke up to people mourning
All I could see was people cry
Till their eyes became dry
All our Innocent lives now at stake
Because of this geopolitical mistake
Dead remains were eaten up by vulture
Living remains were beaten up by war culture
Humanity has become a scarcity
Turning entire country a war city
Leaders of the Countries sit safe & debate
Its our innocent lives that becomes a rebate
Wars & Countries only differ
Ultimately its humanity that suffer
After-all we are the one with 6th sense
I guess that’s the reason for all this tense
Its high time we use our heart more than brain
To stop all these ruthless blood drain
Everyone in the world are kith & Kin
Killing fellow beings is unforgivable sin
Almighty you Please Come down
Or at least make these hunters calm down
I just looked up the Sky
To ask the almighty Why
There I saw a missile towards our camp
With the brightness of a million lamp
I am happy that finally I am gonna be dead
Now I can reach my mom’s lap & lay my head
