Victims of War

She walked through the narrow lanes,

of her once beautiful city,

everyone was in so much pain,

and all they got was pity.

Utterly torn and devastated,

she walked on quietly,

how could they be so ill-fated,

they blamed their destiny.

Flashing back to that perilous night,

made her heart break,

standing in the light however,

gave her the biggest shake.

It was a jolly evening,

with a hint of rain and snow,

before a noise horribly deafening,

took the city by a blow.

She ran until she was enervated,

catching tight hold of her brother's tiny hand,

and the two of them silently waited,

till the noises came to a stand.

Her parents had told her to escape,

and that she safely had,

but now all she could do was gape,

at their bodies lifeless and, be sad.

She could only stand there and glower,

with others of her sort,

so many people around her,

and yet they fell short.

When she couldn't bear the sight anymore,

she left with her little brother,

they were just two now,not four

how that thought made her shudder!

That night she went to sleep,

detesting the repulsive concept of war,

still in shock,she would occasionally weep,

she wondered what she was living for.

'She' is just of the many,

terrified victims of war,

who don't want to live to tell their story,

of how their lives have been done for.

I agree. War make the common people suffer. Creating homeless, destroying great cities and hunger/sickness. Rich people make profit on the suffering of the poor.

But I really liked this piece, so strong and true. These wars are destroying countries, but devastating families. Children now orphans and mothers and fathers burying their babies.
