+ The Fallen Cities Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Thr fallen cities



Hear you people! A voice from the dessert is crying
Behold! Pale Riders from northern sky blew
and rape the children- they strike and leave them dying
while their hands still aiming their heartless arrow;
You sons of the earth open your eyes and see
the lives who kissed the ground for God’s glory
You daughters of the moon listen to the cry beyond the sea
don’t let their prayers force to silence
like a fallen leaves in spring day;
The walls are fallen and terror crept to the magnificent city
In the center of the earth shining so brightly
but slowly doomed to death
each tower cannot hold against the fatal brake of them
whose treasure bowl rich
and intact but turn to ashes as their wealth;
Oh, Peace! Cannot be in this place for no hope from afar
Until behind the bars justice finds her way to end the war
