THIS WAS THAT PLACE
This was a place I was born in
But I know not of,hidden in the darkest facade
Of our surroundings is the brutal gangs that terrorize
The innocent ,,illtreat the old and unprotected tear family
Apart and destroy the hope of the ambitious ,,
Welcome to the island of paradise trod carefully
For deep within these community lies traps of sorrow
Distraction and men of little hearth just enough to survive
Today,,
About this poem
My birth country as become a fighting ground,,and so I penned it as it ,,
