Sunday morning, I switch
on to the news app
to listen to the exclusive
news over a cup of coffee.
Ah! words distressing,
hurtful, wound the senses.
Smoke and ashes
Swirl in the airs,
Flowers and birds
Crushed, killed all,
Gardens is hurt and it bleeds,
Little birds with wings burnt,
Cry and shrill in the searing winds.
Backpacks, notebooks smolder.
Little angels now will never reach
their school as death's taken
its toll on the poor once again.
mostly we remain helpless with a deep sigh and tear drops. powerfully projected feelings. please read my poems 'Terrorism' and 'Quest for blood' to share the feelings.
Sometimes nothing we can do just tears can roll down from eyes...down to our cheek and fall into deep ground..may it reach the one who live inside there with prayers..nicely done Jasmeen, keep it up_Soul
On their way to seek light Those little angels descend to eternity.....journey of light turn into darkness, so sad I take a sigh-only a sigh And a tear rolls down my cheek...what should we do except it? ...touching poem indeed...(
Senses wounded Smoke and ashes Swirl in the city Flowers and birds Crushed and killed tragedy is captured and tears are shared! ! !
Tears rolls down your cheeks, cos you are a human, a human with a difference. How many others read the same news that you read? Do they also shed tears like you? I doubt. Many of us shed tears like you, cos, as you say how many innocents like flowers, birds, swans, angels and so on are being crushed in to dust by the so called liberators in the name of freedom, justice and what not? Worse than they, are the ones who instigate conflicts, encourage systems to continue conflicts and spread conflicts, not for nothing, but for their own selfish gains. Let us all rise against them. Great thinking, YK.
may we have courage to speak the truth. and may we have courage to admit what we are. and where we stand. we all.
