A woman once adorned with love, now draped in grief’s attire, A casualty of war’s cruel dance, consumed by its dire fire. My parents, pillars of my world, taken by the hands of war, Their […]

Mothers weep, cradling dreams turned to dust, Innocence lost, an […]

Existential heights, a perilous endeavor, In the […]
