see us dying

A Poem by Lyric

A lot of people are dying, in all these wars us "intelligent people" are creating, and i mean that on fault of all sides

Listen, we are crying,
Hear us dying,

Here our screams,
And bullets flying at our heads,

At our children,
And our parents,

And the newly weds that tightly hold each other,

At my father and my mother who are too old to run,
And my sister and my brother who were caught by that man's gun,

They could've gotten away,
But then the soldier spun around,
They weren't dead,
He could've saved them,
But he left them on the ground,

Tears blur my eyes but as I run I still look around,
Blood seems to be weighing Earth down by the pound,
This world held up longer than I've ever hoped,
I've found,

But sooner or later, we were bound to destroy ourselves,

We live in an unsound place, and now all I can do is fall to my knees,
And wish for saving grace,

With dirt and grime smeared over my face,
For once in my life I pray for my end, and I hope it's the case

hey that s great. i feel like one of these victims. it s well describe at very emotional way. i like that style. important is you write about war from position of victims. we sometimes forget they exist. still today we have lot of war conflicts. maybe when we write we can wake paeople. and we can do something about it.
thank you very much.
