Jumbled Words of Understanding (Poetry) #WATTYS2019

Pain of loss

Upon my bed I lay, content

Reminiscing about the day well spent.

Laughter and joy, happiness and smile,

Little did I know that it wouldn't last a long mile.

~

The day that followed, I woke up to dread.

Bombs and missiles, throughout the country, spread.

Heartless, callous, cruel and not an ounce of regret.

Wonder, what from this, do they get?

~

Thought only nature could bring torment through natural calamity.

Guess, I was wrong, those, they destroy lives with no pity.

Those who brought human disaster,

Broke each and every life, faster and faster.

~

My family, my friends, they snatched,

Through the missiles they had dispatched.

For this, it is none other than them, they are the cause.

Tears welled up my eyes, dreading my loss.

~

My heart, they ruthlessly tore.

This day, nothing like the day before,

which had bundles of joy and happiness.

But now, I see nothing but distress.

~

As I walked through the frozen street,

I heard screams and pleas.

Made me run back in retreat.

Couldn't help but fall on my knees.

~

Blood, bones and guns is all I see.

Oh! They all cried, wanting to be free.

Everything is still, as still as it can be.

Stuck in a situation that I couldn't agree.

~

What I couldn't take is the sickening silence,

Maddening me by every second.

Why do they have to choose violence?

Is this going to be my end?

~

The tears, they cascade, as they fall down my cheek.
