My Ballads

I had to write ballad about a current event in the news so here you go!

Syrian War

Wake up to the morning sunshine

Bursting into my house

I slip out of bed quietly

Quieter than a mouse.

The war is raging on outside

Don’t go out said Mother

I then reflect over her words

Then thinking, why bother?

I can hear the booming gunshots

As I sit in the streets

Not regretting my decision

Proud of my daring feat.

A plane flies high up in the sky

And then down comes a bomb

I hear a roaring explosion

A scream then all is gone.

Syrian War 2

The smell of blood filling the air

Corpses litter the ground

Getting in the way of the war

Guns continue to pound.

The dark grey sky is stormy now

As night begins to fall

But the war is still raging on

I slump against the wall.

Men appear from far in the field

Pointing a gun at me

I look up to the sky and plead

Please will they let me be.

But no, they cackle and take aim

I take my final breath

I hear the trigger being pulled

While I await my death.
