The world is
burning bright,
It is not
the sun which gives this light,
We have put
a stop to all our fight,
The world is
sure burning bright.
The sky is
all covered in clouds,
But don’t
expect any rains around,
We can no
longer hear any sound,
The sky is
sure all covered in clouds.
It is not
the silence of the peace,
No doves are
resting atop the trees,
We all are
crawling on our knees,
Is it night?
Is it day? We just can’t see.
Why the air
feels so hot?
It’s the
holocaust,
And the
mankind is forever lost,
It’s the
holocaust,
We have
brought about our own fall,
The god lies
dead in front,
Who will
hear our distress call?
The buildings
are all crumbling down,
They were
once a part of a breathing town,
The faces
are all powdered like a clown,
The buildings
sure are crumbling down.
That ring
belongs to someone’s mom,
Wait! I know
where that finger’s from,
The rest
seems to be blown in the storm,
But that
ring sure belonged to my mom.
We have no
answers at the time,
We lay
wearing mud and grime,
Thinking of
future seems a crime,
Yes, we have
no answers at the time.
It’s the
holocaust,
All the
fishes sleep on the land,
It’s the
holocaust,
The birds
are perching on dead sand,
It’s the
holocaust,
We have
brought about our own fall,
And the god
lies dead in front,
Who will
hear our distress call?
Nice, this was a good read, and the picture was an awesome find for the post. I love the artistry in it... These darker feeling pieces suite me in some way.
ReplyDeleteI should hope that mankind will change their ways, so that we don't face such destruction in our future!
I cannot take credit for artistry..i downloaded it from google image search to go with the theme of poem.
ReplyDeleteI wrote this after watching a nat geo documentary on hiroshima bombing.
Thanks for your inspiratory feedback.
