Prisoner of war

Eventually, they put an end
to their sleepless nights
They called it freedom, and
I was denied the rights

The right to go to school
holding HIS finger tight
The right to cuddle in HER
lap on a Saturday night

I am a Scape goat
Lying on the altar
That is what it feels like
To be a prisoner of this war

A war sans weapons
A war sans blood shed
Just a war of words
That leaves me dead!

yes, this was really describing the agony... and i believe this is how terrorists are born... orphaned children of civilians who loose life in militant attacks...

Anyways, good work da, keep writing.... :)
