EXODUS

Some empty handed in darkness fled

while the ones stayed, to death did bled.

Child 'n' man rotted in blood soaked field

while the women were forced to yield.

The call to threat came from the mics

while bodies dangled from poles 'n' spikes.

A once sweet brotherhood now forsaken -

lives, trust 'n' modesty forcefully taken.

In darkness the hideous monsters creep -

cursed eyes wide open in deep sleep.

The 'shriek', the 'horror' and the 'cry' -

none heard, none saw, they didn't even try.

Even the cloud came down in tears

but couldn't erase the trauma or fears.

It was evident and needless to say -

humanity fell off the cliff that day.

People were killed by their names -

left to rot, sans giving to the flames.

The filth from both sides of the border,

shook dirty hands and gave the order.

Heaven submitted to the fires of Hell -

Lucifer sat on the throne, one could tell. 

They forgot, that the wheel was in spin -

bodies lived no more but curses have been. 

Spineless leaders; the rioters went wild

as the country was ruled by devil's child.

After three decades, tho' it stopped burning -

there's hope, as the wheels are finally turning.
