Fires burn in ancient city,
Lighting up “Stop War!” graffiti,
Crowded streets with anger hissing,
Violence on their mind.
Voices broken, rifles straining,
Wild shouts are condemning
Murderers who`ll shout in vain-
No back up behind.
I see you where battle is thickest.
Are they tears or it`s just misty?
Blinding film is still resisting
In my burning eyes.
We`re so close, it’ll soon be over,
Run for comfort and for cover,
Only people are still slaughtered,
Fires rising high.
Never fear, we will prevail.
Won’t accept. Will never fail.
We may see our death`s black tail,
Maybe it`s our time.
But from ruins and deep sorrow,
Land will raise its head tomorrow-
Will be free, will overthrow
Greedy, ugly minds.
So if we won’t foresee the end,
They will remember us again.
We`re never lost. Or tired.
Remember me if you still can
And I will come to you, my friend.
Stay true. Be wild.
Hi Nathalie
I don't really understand poetry so I usually read it to feel the underlying emotion. I've read yours through several times but unfortunately just find it very confusing? Perhaps other readers will explain it to me!
All the best.
