The city was burning with the fire of the arsenal
Hither and thither the crowd went into a frenzy mad
Loud cries were lost in the din of the melee’
Scattered and strewn lay injured and slain bodies scantily clad
She scampered her way along empty silent desolate lanes
With her new-born close to her bosom as she fled
Tens of thousands were running amok to save their lives
Her heart raced; adrenalin surged, as roads were painted red
Suddenly an invisible hand whisked her, to a corner dark
She was blindfolded and gagged, silenced and helpless made
Bundled and pushed into an already idling vehicle which sped
She could just feel movement and hear shouting voices fade
The vehicle screeched to a halt after a while,
She saw herself amongst a crowd running helter-skelter
She was welcomed with warmth, affection, and love
As they had brought her into the safe havens of a shelter
She was relieved to see her own creed and countrymen
All rescued from the war-hit injured motherland
She was reassured and counseled to make her believe
That she was sheltered, protected, and amongst safe hands
