They have succeeded today
They did it today that had never happened before,They have succeeded today and maybe to last for tomorrow.
Never did the ghost of darkness haunted, nor did the ghouls that wailed,
Never did the horror of the tales affected, nor did the bad dreams prevailed.
The Tsunami that swapped thousands from the coast,
Was so impassive and untouched to me.
The cracks in the land that swallowed lives and money,
Remained unbothered, and at a distance of the sea.
Never for the innocent beings, did a drop of tear ran down,
Who were lost amidst the rubbles, yet their corpses never found.
Never was I shaken by the pain of those who were set ablaze,
On the wheels of disaster, that ran on tracks of maze.
Though, it killed a plenty andreturned back to its serenity.
The explosions and blasts, to me, were aliens far away,
The slaughtering and killing never crossed my way.
For that has never risen before, my fear is about to rise.
Yes, today I am scared of being one among those thousands,
Who did nothing to be battered, yet were killed by cruel hands.
Yes, today I scared as I am yet to achieve a lot in life,
Be a good human, a leader, a mother and a wife.
And I do not want to collapse, before finishing the run.
They say, they have terminated those who has molested the calm and peace of the city,
But the truth remains, that from the layers of rocks beneath has raised the beast of anxiety.
Yes, today they really did it that had never happened before,
They have succeeded today and maybe to last for a hundred tomorrows.
Brilliant poem.
ReplyDeleteYes, it seems that today they have succeeded. What we have to do is to ensure we quash our fears, and try and generate positivity.
