UNSEEN PROSE AND POETRY

Read the poem and answer the question

What a morning!

The sound of guns was everywhere

The city was trapped,

I heave a mournful sigh- Rebels!

Boom Boom Boom!

The heart pants at the sound of the blast

Lord! When will all this end?

This is the fourth day.

You say you are free

Oh no, you are not

You are trapped-

A prisoner in your own home.

The song is everywhere.

What next?

Food - water - a hiding place

Far from the sound of the gun.
