People have been silent for a while
Tired from the incessant troubles
Only sighs and wailing can be heard
Shattering the deceitful silence
Children do not dream of the future
Puzzled with the grown-up woes
Holding their hands during upheavals
Here, for what the portent time brings
At the doorstep of fragile minds
Now, out in the open, a daunting sky
Surrounded by fear, inauspicious words
No more the songs pacify them
It is bizarre; incendiary remarks
Ruining the love, tranquillity, and homes
Laughing at the face of forewarnings
Risking everything- life’s simple dreams
Suddenly wishing a perilous change
Choosing to follow a hysterical path
Once, without fear and mindless desires
A gathering of wrecked souls- only remorse
This silence wipes off dreams and future
Facing inclement weather- old and young
Temptations followed by an ominous time
Even the horizon stares with evil eyes
