Left Gasping for Air

 

Left Gasping for Air

Each awful wave jerking, wrenching at their minds, dragging them down,

Unable to resist the weight, overwhelming anxiety, making them drown.

Within each wash, dust, and shock, leaving them breathless, gasping for air,

The insanity too much to comprehend, apprehension raging with despair.

Uncertainty painting awful pictures, with frightful visions, of the unknown,

Booming explosions above, the ground shaking, villages into debris blown.

Thought of the future on hold, hope distracted, all their dreams shattered,

The thunderous noises resonating, sirens wailing, attention badly battered.

Hearts surrendering to certain death, desperately clutching onto salvation,

Each startling blast, sending shock waves, met with scathing condemnation

Every second split, in imminent threat, helplessly waiting for the fatal blow,

Death lingering above, spreading distress, and agony, time dragging slow.

Women and kids screaming, the dreadful menace, leaving them distraught,

Unable to escape the violent force set above, engulfed in fearsome thought.

Mothers sobbing, unable to restrain their emotions, overwhelmed with fear,

Clutching their infants, close to their hearts, ardently wrestling to persevere.

Where is their salvation, an end to this agony, the relentless sorrow and pain?

Who will stop this coldblooded killing, heartless war? Why are they delaying?
