A Broken Heart ~ Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Her heart is once again broken
Not due to failed love
But by the separation
Of the loved ones
And this is what a war can do
The morning calmness
Chirping of the birds
Bells from the farthest school on a hill
Bustling of the leaves
Farmers sowing seeds
And the river flows carefree
All in few minutes turned upside down
As the fighter jet flew past dropping bombs
And then tankers rushed in to capture.
The tree fell, building broken, smoke everywhere
The blue sky turned dark black
And the river carrying hands, legs and heads
With a photo album sits a teen girl
Looking around for the loved ones.
