LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS



Darkness roll as the smoke of uncertainty
Prevailed in the horizon
As fear painted in every faces
Hoping that everything is just a nightmare
But a reality unfold
The beast of destruction rolled
And the monster of death flying
Giving mercy to no one
Child women and old.
Roar and rumble and roar and rumble,
Thunder and lightning of death echoed
Through the cities, and country
As smoke rises and devastation commenced


Young and Old, strong and weak
Gathered courage, stand and fight
Not only for their country
But for their children and grandchildren
Armed with nothing but hope and dream
The nightmare will be over soon
And light of freedom will shine momentarily.
