This is a contest entry for #Julyisfree to @WP_poetry about freedom.
This is a poem about people fighting to gain freedom for their country. Enjoy!

Darkness descends upon our world,
Entire halls lined up with urns
This world of ours decays in spite,
The flames of hell- ignite.

I sense the world, it's ashes fly,
The screams of men who want to die
Engulfing me, this horrific sight,
We suffer in our endless plight.

Fight each other, kill each other,
Lose all hope to recover
This fragment of our soul long gone
Childhood burnt, our futures torn.

We look for life,  a little light,
Look for salvation with all our might,
We dream of heroes, saviors and legends,
Rising from the ashes of our present.

We pray to them, we call them gods,
Don't we offer everything, overlords?
We lie in wait to be freed
From this prison we decreed.

We forget the hero in us,
The little voice that we fail to trust.
The one that tells us what is right,
No matter how hard, it will be alright.

Fight, fight, we must fight,
To live in peace, that is our birth right.
Away from fear, terror, and hatred,
Such a life that we call sacred.

From the bottom of my heart,
The author
