Marawi: A Dauntless Assault

Lachrymose Fate

In that archipelago, that booming province is calling me

The vocation of teaching, in that haven is what I could see

The richness of culture, Muslim people spread in every vicinity

Christian like me trying to live with them in sweet harmony

I woke up early that morning, found new hope to cling on

This frustrating life I have, I would like to change to dispatch

Suddenly my blithe face turned into a chili-red blush on

Not with love my heart shouts but of tragic I watched with no match

Bombings deafened the streets, wailing polluted the air

Cryings proliferated, houses burned while policemen dare

To control the situation, to fight out the lionhearted invader

In no seconds, life in the city bounded with enormous danger

Every pads I have dropped in that busy road that I take

I rush to the other side then back seeing their souls at stake

Hopes fade, dreams resolve,tears shed with nothing that I can make

To ease the pain of losing my coveted dreams with lachrymose fate
