Shrapnel Swagger
By the swagger of the shrapnels
people die by the laughter
of war and devout fire burning
the land with a strong defiance
of peace, burning the silence
and the harmony with the
frown of the flames
By the swagger of the shrapnels
men die,
bullets parade the innocent bodies
of people, death is the stamp on their lives,
their bodies then become corpses
and hopes die
The bombs laugh
the defiant fire spreads about
and the sand baptises the corpses
with the clay of death,
this is the behemoth of war
and its rage
destroys...
