Awakening Poem by Usman Hanif

Forlorn from lying dead
the Corpses returned to life.
Fedup with worshiping their gods
they finally broke them to pieces.

Besieged forgot their fear
leaving assailants in dismay...
They breached the walls that protected them
they fought the fear that had imrisoned them
they conquered the fear to the glory
but were slain ruthlessly by their enemy
Cries became warcries
and death became even deadly...
When the earth was crimsonized
they ended the war...

Amongst the dead ones their swords sparkled
their tresses celebrated their courage and danced
and forlorn lay the slayers
like the living corpses;
forgetting their gods;
whom they loved like girls love their dolls...

Soon there will be another army
attacking them for another awakening!
