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.

The song is everywhere.

Food - water - a hiding place
Far from the sound of the gun.
