Boom, crash, alhurub, alhurub, walkhuruj min huna, escape, escape, get out of here. Ground covered with rubble. War. Stuck in the middle. Trying to find a way out. Severed bodies covered in blood. Bullets lodged into their bodies. Innocent civilians. Lives of children, the world awaiting them. Taken away because of people who want power. People fleeing to other countries to find refuge because their country is war torn. Children missing one or both parents because they died. Bombs and guns, methods of killing, used in such brutal ways. War is terrible. It's not fair. Boom, crash, alhurub, alhurub, walkhuruj min huna, escape, escape, get out of here. War.
