Sinful Heroes

By Anonymous

A gunshot is heard

The buildings are collapsing

Smoke and fire cover the ground

People run for their lives and for the lives of those lost

Others stop running as their chest are shredded by shrapnel and bullets

Some hide from their attackers from the east


Few are left standing

The noise from their boots as they march towards the capital is like the sounds of an earthquake

Screams from those who try to flee

Crying and begging from those too weak to fight

Innocent lives are here

They did nothing but to live

But they do not care

They attack and kill anyone in sight

They burn the houses and take the food of those who wanted a good life

They have sinned but they will still be remembered as the heroes


In one moment everything falls silent

They raise their flag and climb over the rubble of the once powerful empire

Our flag falls and burns in the rubble

A new era has begun

`

An era of fear and luck

Of smart people and stupid decisions

One where the world is split in two

And one where the world had gone mad

Where one choice could have ended it all

And where the innocent will be the pawns for those who play a game of chess

But they will still be remembered as the heroes
