From the dark cloudless skies
Comes the engines drone
Of that unseen and
menacing evil
In grim formation
flown
Then comes the sirens
song
Telling of impending
death
As the city looks
skyward
Holding a collective
breath
Long beams of light
Searched out the evil
flock
Criss-crossing the
darkness
In every quarter of
the clock
Towards the shelters
The civilian’s ant
like scurry
As the guns began desperately
Trying to stop the
enemy
Fire and death rains
down
Upon the weary
populace
In macabre equality
The walks of life feel
deaths embrace
As buildings fall to
the ground
In rubble and dust
Life and history
instantly erased
After the bombs
combust
Then come the sirens
again
Calling out loud, all
clear
And from underground
The jaded survivors
reappear
To count the cost
Of the night at the
gates of hell
Then thanking God
For keeping them safe
and well
Gaps on the ravaged
skyline
Missing Churches and
hostelries
Fire still burns where
once stood
Homes and factories
Hoping against hope
That their home
survived the night
But despite all this
They never thought to
give up the fight
