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.
***
Beautiful, Profound and poignant verses
