2017
Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition
This is war.
Corpses lay on the rough, gravel ground.
Gunfire flies making an ear bursting sound.
Women weep and pray for their families lives.
The soldiers obey their commander's cries.
Houses are bombed, lives dying away.
Everyone hopes to live another day.
The cities are left in abandoned darkness.
Why is Hitler so horribly heartless?
Finally the sun shines again.
And warm peace comes to those who remain.
This was war.
