The Men with their guns

Love and Hope for Afghanistan

Teams of Men come carrying guns.

As the people try to flee their hearts beating like drums.

 

Invading with force, their presence brings fear!

Of a nightmare existence control to adhere.

 

Desperate civilians all trying to escape, the roads are gridlocked.

Some hang off Airplanes.

 

Warning shots are fired as the crowds go berserk.

Whilst the Men with their guns just stand and smirk.

 

Fear lingers in the streets of what’s behind in wait!

Lives in limbo and nerves that are frayed.

 

Public speaking with morality, protesting no harm.

The memories still fresh just to be fooled by their charms.

 

You maimed with your weapons and taunted with your bait.  

The Men with their guns and their hearts filled with hate.

Author's Note

The footage I saw on the News of Civilians wanting to escape their own homes and country with such desperation and fear has really stuck with me.
My heart goes out to the innocent people of Afghanistan and for those facing the same atrocities in other countries around the world.
I sincerely hope one day there will be world peace.
