A Devastating Impact

Night after night

Day after day
The bullets fly

The gunshots scream

We run for cover

Trying to shield ourselves

From the bombs

And the falling shrapnel

Everyone is petrified

Living through terror

Trying to escape death

And for why?

All this hate, what is it for?

Do they even know?

Can't  they see, the devastating impact?

It is having on the land and the people?
