On a dull winter evening
The clouds stood out
Fighting like a bunch of grapes
Pushing each other out of shapes
And so the humungous cloud
That engulfed all others that stood
Roared a beastly roar
And the ghastly wind
That followed
Uprooted many a timbers
Tossing around man and animals
As if on a daily grind
Next thing I recall
Was that cliffside
And the savage sea
Pouncing for me
Before I could fall
Again I woke up
I feared and saw
Nothing but ravaged lands
An unknown face
An unknown place
I wondered for once
If I had ran
Against the race..
I picked my brains
A bit here, a wee bit there
Cloud drew in my mind
Alas !
After a momentary despair
And It caught my fancy
How divided we are !
How lifeless, yet free !
We fight for pennies
We fight for lands
We fight for water
We fight for sands
But I wince in
Misery, sadness and pain
When the angels asked,
“Why ?
Why didn’t you ever fight for humanity ?”
