The enemy is keen to destroy,
The drone has been spotted
The bomb is going to deploy,
It was all planned and plotted,
Landing on the buildings
It touches the ground,
A white flash that is blinding,
The sky is now drowning in brown,
The Sirens are sounding,
A smoke screen rises covering the wounded,
The fire and smoke is astounding
You can hear the cries of the marooned.
There is no hope for these few,
In the darkness there is nothing to be seen
If only they knew
What was the point of the violence and the havoc of the scene?
