Here is a poem written by me;

TITLE : CARMINE CRIES

Blood river

flows mercilessly,

Bombs rain from metallic birds,

Buildings collapse silencing thousands,

Breaths halt ’midst mounting debris,

Grim dirges resound,

Darkness reigns,

Endless grief ensues,

The borderless skies witness

Vile hatred betwixt bordered countries,

Humanity laid to rest,

Through dismal rift flows 

Blood river.
