A FRIENDS CONVO

In lands of promise, dreams once bright,

A young man left, set out in flight,

To seek knowledge, a degree to attain,

Leaving behind his home, untouched by gain.

 

But on his return, a sight to appall,

No home remained, just scars on the wall,

War's cruel hand, it tore asunder,

His family's hard-earned place, now a distant thunder.

 

He weeps in shadows, a fugitive's plight,

For crimes not his, he hides from the light,

In a world he thought was meant to be,

His haven, his home, but war stole the key.

 

As night descends, his dreams turn grim,

His sister's body, torn limb from limb,

War's cruel touch, it haunts his rest,

A tale of heartache, in his chest, suppressed.

 

In this world of pain, he roams alone,

A war-torn heart, a soul overthrown,

Yet through the tears and endless strife,

He carries the memories, and treasures life.

 

Each dawn that breaks, a glimmer of hope,

Through shattered dreams, he learns to cope,

With strength he finds in resilience's grace,

He keeps his family's memory in its rightful place.

 

In the midst of chaos, he stands tall,

Defying despair, refusing to fall,

For in his heart, he carries the light,

A beacon of love, in the darkest of night.

 

Though war has taken much away,

His spirit remains, undiminished to this day,

He weeps for the past, and the innocence lost,

But in his determination, he finds the cost.

 

In lands of promise, dreams may be marred,

Yet within his soul, a resilience scarred,

He faces a world that tried to erase,

His dreams and his home, but love finds its place.
