On one side,
Reason was slipping away,
And on the other,
Hatred had taken its place,
Keeping company with death…
Reason And hope
Were escaping together, far away…
There would be no more Values, Loves or Colors…
Only a destroyed scenario.
The tyrant
Who referred to a people As animals
Found a pretext for tyranny.
The extremist
Captured the world’s eyes
While Innocent children Died…
War crimes were happening…
As sepia tones
Took over the picture
In a painting of sadness,
Thirst was becoming desperate…
And the innocent believers
Raised their eyes to the heavens,
Imagining a Paradise beyond…
For there was no more Another hope.
And the warlords
Ignored conventions
Invented new stories…
Deceived their own people
Eliminated a people…
The wicked smiled
While perplexed nations
Lost themselves
Without agreements,
without words
And perplexed the mankind Perished.
Humanity was lost.
