AMNESIA
It
breaks my heart to see children playing,
The
park garden flower blossoming,
Overpower
joyous moments parent,
Participates
with kids plays decent, (1)
Surprised
the scene captivates short,
Decades
ago, the city ruined the mascot,
War
clouds bombs destroyed sadly,
Death
and ruination complete tally, (2)
Obliterated,
difficulty to know the street,
The
particular home family fled to greet,
No
food, shelter, water, a death trap,
Bombing
continued war cry sharp (3)
The
hegemony aggressions racism,
Humans
hate others, race in prism,
Born
from mother's womb declare,
Faith,
language, cultures despair, (4)
Child
black, white, colors plural,
Human
blood sends message wall,
Still
continues war, perishing life,
Permanent
miseries facing strife, (5)
Stood
quietly, touched the cold wind,
Rebuilt
the city, a million remind,
Felt
tear peace has returned yell,
Prayed
the Lord amnesia to dwell, (6)
Lives
suffered, died, a bad dream,
Past is
past, acts amnesia stream,
Found
tomorrow hopeful rosy act,
Witnessing
children playing react, (7)
Kids
unaware of sorrowful days,
Amnesia
a grace, cemetery says,
Flower
tributes silent prayer light,
Peace
visible silence present sight, (viii)
Moved
ahead, looked at a skyscraper,
Lighted
boulevards, music allure,
Hunger,
sickness, fear, not visible,
Growing
population hope trickle, (9)
Scared
past hunted erased, fully,
Amenable,
amnesia, pray Lord truly,
May the
next generation be safe and grow,
Secure
prosperous happy to show, (10)
Past
mistake war fighting stopped,
Realized
humans realize mopped,
Amnesia
helped the gift of the Lord,
Erases
animosity and hatred, all absurd. (11)
