Nightmarish life

Oh, fear and fright
That's part of life
Brought about
Through left and right
People who claim
Visionary sight
That causes much
Loss of so much life
And the rumble of tanks
Rolling on
And the blasts
From various explosions
Aren't heard
In the corridors of power
Those in control need not fear
The doomsday hour
No fear of hearing planes overhead
Symbols of impending death
Leaving women and children
Gasping their last breath
Made from biological dread
Chemical warfare
Does not exist
Except in places such as this
Where life is void and life is cheap
Death always stalks the street
And leaves trails of blood
Among the rubble
Systematic of a nations struggle
Bombed virtually into non existence
Left behind poverty stricken and defenceless
Once a thriving striving land
Now destroyed by its fellow man.
