We were there
with the sirens calling.
The recessional
of twilight falling.
Waiting for
the bombs to begin,
never knowing
that we had sinned.

Never taking
the time to be sad,
they ended the only
lives we had
with fire and brimstone
reflecting Hell
and leaving no trace
of our sad farewell.

The houses were leveled,
the "taint" was killed.
Our "desecrated"
blood was spilled,
without ever naming
a reason why.
No one told us
why we had to die.

This is our story,
so listen up well
when I tell you
that bloodshed and killing is Hell.
Our bones lie forgotten;
our tombstones unread.
We are the ghosts
of the unnamed dead.

Nothing is more painful than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him. (Unknown)

Woah!!!! This is sick!!!!! In a good way i loved the beginning:
We were there
with the sirens calling.
The recessional
of twilight falling.
You are excellent!
