To Nowhere (To The Helpless Victims of War)


As the dawn unfurl her wings
Her foggy edges brings-
Peace over the dusty trail;
Tarrying, tarrying, soft but frail.

Gunshots after gunshots keep ablaze,
Hearts skip a beat, innocents on the race;
And Death with his scythe starts to reckon,
One . .Two . .Three . . .Hundred-fifty and so on.

Words of comfort just melt away,
Along with shattered dreams, they never stay,
Like those wild flowers in the fields of green,
Alluring but after-unheard, unseen.

Filthy smoke vanishes in thin air
As small teary eyes stare,
Asking, "Where do we go from here?"
A light ghastly wind answers, "To nowhere, to nowhere. "

DIVIDER WHITE DOVE PEACE Pictures, Images and Photos

In as much as I salute to the brave soldiers in our time, i pay tribute to the helpless victims of war. The pain they feel will always be excruciating. There's nothing as painful as seeing your loved ones dying in your arms . . . Others live but with a scar of a horrifying past and face a bleak future. So this poem i dedicate as a tribute.
