The Rage of War

by Jayden aged 12

Boom, Boom, bombs go off in the distance.
You can smell the blood drifting in the air.
Heads down low ready to fire,
No one thinks it’s fair.

Parents running for a place to hide,
Children hiding under a bed.
They fear they might die,
Yet the guns will decide.

Heavy bodies falling on top of each other,
Making a mountain.
Surviving families silently cry.
Their grief pours out as a fountain.

Under each bloody uniform is a sad man.
Hoping to see his family once more,
Wishing for this curse to disappear
And not be so sore.

Once a very beautiful land,
Has now changed to a barren battlefield.
