Like Birds Without Nests.... Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Like Birds Without Nests....

Rating: 5.0

In fields of strife, where armies clash and part,
people wander around having torn from their heart
like birds without nests, they roam and seek,
a shelter from the storm, a place to speak.
their bellies empty, their spirits low,
they search for sustenance, as the sun does glow
but like the birds, they find no rest,
their bodies weary, their souls oppressed
and their children cry, their elders fade,
their hope is lost, their future afraid.

Yet still they search, with hearts so true,
for a place to call their own, anew
as birds without nests, they wander wide,
their dreams of home, their souls' inside.
but still they search, with steadfast will,
for a place to lay their heads, to still.

A search for the nest, a place to rest, however weary you still go on. Beautifully penned. A ray of hope never dies.

So sadly but so beautifully writtee.1 It is always the innocent birds that pay the highest price in all wars. Only the leaders that provoke wars should be involved, , Highest marks for this then the cowasards would make wars stop.
