The nights calm no souls

Boom! Boom! comes the sounds of the night

Drones atop the sky delivering gifts

Gifts of doom to the children of Libya

Libya my love,i cry for your children

So young and innocent

They lie silent

Peaceful Peace

Cries of desolate children went on

As the survivors look at a land besieged

Land gouged and scorched by bombs

Dreams snatched and shattered

Invaders now treading the land

Can it be peaceful?

Yet they tread the land with guns

What is Peace?

Is this Peaceful Peace?

We used to have peace

Until the invaders invaded us

And forced us to… Continue
