Question:

What does this poem mean to you?

How do you interpret this poem:




Once as a patron of war
Attacked by power and greed
Life stolen
Taken away
Never to be returned
But the memory remains unserved.

Once as a believer
Prosecuted for uniqueness
Burning, flames engulfing,
Torture, life made worthless
Said to be no more than dirt
Yet faith remains.

Once as a pure one,
In a city of filth
Watching loved ones
Dying, rotting
Sitting helplessly
But the affected remained gone.

Once as a lover
Filled with joy and harmony
Closeness and fulfillment
Screaming, begging, reaching out
Losing grip, blackness,
Yet the truly loved remain forever protected
