Bliss to Despair
Cluck cluck, this way dear horsey
The sky is so bright and blue
I know you are happy and I am too
What’s holding you back though?
Ah, it must be the meadows for sure
It’s lush green vibrance tempting you
But my friend let’s move along -
There’s more to see, to explore!
Life is but a ball of curiosity
Look, those pine trees standing tall
Like silhouettes of proud men on call
Mysterious yet enticing to hear
Its shadows whispering tales unclear
Queer and bizarre may it seem
I find beauty in Nature’s darkest seam
The bewitching call of the deep
Cloaked in mystery yet serene
Luring like a sorceress with spells unseen
Let’s climb these mountains
Reach higher to touch the sky
Where winds whistle lullabies
and clouds hug to comfort your soul
Come my friend let’s move along -
There’s more to see, to explore!
Do you hear the pops my dear -
Crackles of fire crackers, are they?
Or practice bangs of army drills nearby?
Oh no, they’re shots gone wrong -
Fired by souls demented, unhinged!
Point blank were their shots to confirm
No men would stand up too stubborn
To voice, to retaliate
To seek help against the fate
Lives were slain edorsing their hate
Chaos erupted, bullets fired, blood splattered
Men and horses ran scattered
Wails of whose loved ones lay cold
Enough to melt the hardest mould
Yet their aims spared no second thought
Are they not men like us
With emotions and weakness bare
Were their heart and soul not in place
For their violent spree were cruel
And unforgivable to bear
What could justify this carnage
What purpose did it serve
The sky, the meadow, the forest
All lost its vibrant hue
Reflecting the turmoil of bereaved souls
Alas my friend! How
can we move on ?
There’s more to see, than meets the eyes…
Dear horsey left me standing alone
A harsh reminder
that fate must be faced alone
Startling cold touch on my temples cued
I am at the gateway to the nether world
In the final seconds of respire
I recalled my last moments of bliss
If this is my final journey uncalled unprepared
I leave with no regrets - for my last breath
Was spent in heaven, paradise on earth!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
