No, these are not grandiose times
Everything happens according to the time
A habit, controlled by a powerful world
Exaltation of a different reality here
It burns; the body cannot bear the heat
Dehydrated minds unable to nurture feelings
Heartbeats echo the scared moments
Very few precious things to possess
Lamentations of unholy transformations
Worldly possessions disintegrate
Before they appeared like an apparition
Killed the emotions about life
Strange explanations with fancy words
Violating the sanctity of the soul
Estranged feelings spread like wild fire
Lonely beings cannot bear the trouble
Of staring at the distorted reflections
Mourning amidst an erupting reality
