Heading Nowhere!

Red dreary skies prevail,
Raining pieces of slashed glass everywhere.
Faces…gloomy and pail,
Helplessly taking shelter heading nowhere.
Smothered wails that no one can ignore
Break the silence of the chamfered fallen glass!
Groundless birds unable to sing or soar
Turn the bloody skies into an unknown mass!
No celebrations or birthdays….
Cause hearts are poisoned and crushed with fear!
No ceremonies or mother’s days…
Cause fear has suffocated any happy new year!
Things will never be the same again.
Weary wrathful troops accepting the change,
Knowing it’s in vain to try to break the chain,
Vanquished cattle can’t go beyond the range!
Struggling to make this dusky image vanish away,
Yet wondering…does anyone see what I see?
This cloudy vision is getting more obscure every day.
I can no longer believe what I really see!
Can we dare hope for an optimistic view
In the midst of our unpredictable dominant fears?
Can the red skies turn back into blue,
And our children celebrate many happy new years?
