In the shadows where whispers cry,
A world torn asunder, silent sighs,
The echoes of violence ripple through,
Leaving scars where once dreams flew.

Gentle hearts caught in the storm,
Seeking solace, a haven warm,
Yet the fury of anger breaks the peace,
Turning love’s embrace into a lease.

Eyes closed to the chaos outside,
Hoping for a dawn where hope abides,
Yet the night lingers, deep and wide,
Hiding truths we cannot confide.

In the quiet, a plea for grace,
A world to heal, to find its place,
Where hands once clenched in rage,
Can turn the page, escape the cage.
