Wars(Part 2)



So Wars #1 was from an adult's point of view and this next one is from a kid's point of view.
So here u go Wars(Part 2)




She stands by the wall which was once her home,
She had a family before they were killed by drones,
She’s too young to know what happened,
All she remembers is a sound so loud it nearly had her deafened.

Her body hurts and her clothes are torn,
Tears flow down her eyes while she quietly mourns,
Mother, father and brother lie lifeless before her,
It’s too hard for a five year old to believe that they are no more there.

She calls her mother as cries out loud,
But nobody no more makes a sound,
Beside her mother she lies down,
Closes her eyes and wraps her hand around.

I don’t know about glory and heroes in war,
But wars sure do leave some solid scars,
Broken homes, shattered dreams, permanent tragedies, what can you say about it?
Just one question, is it all really worth it?

-Yusra.Shaikh
