A thousand dreams fill his eyes,
Like sparkling stars across the skies,
In his heart a hope lies,
A spirit to fill the world with smiles…
Keeping the verve alive,
He sets off on a promising drive,
On a road meant to bring delight,
Spread across myriad miles…
Little does he realise,
That the odyssey to paradise,
Is an illusionary flight,
Lasting not even for a while…
The miasma of strife,
The hammering of words vile,
The sound of guttural cries,
Shatters his inner poise…
Bloodshed on all sides,
As person after person dies,
He watches in fright,
As people struggle to survive…
The smell of bloody tide,
The gory death sight,
The massacre, the turmoil,
His heart recoils…
Terror crams his wounded mind,
His dreams crumble and fears arise,
And yet he gathers all his might,
And gears up for the fight…
Lost in the valley of spite,
He erases all blood ties,
The beast of carnage thrives,
He knows nothing but dislike…
Love fails to rise,
Albeit he ceaselessly tries,
For, abhorrence defeats and destroys,
His compassionate inner voice…
Like sparkling stars across the skies,
In his heart a hope lies,
A spirit to fill the world with smiles…
Keeping the verve alive,
He sets off on a promising drive,
On a road meant to bring delight,
Spread across myriad miles…
Little does he realise,
That the odyssey to paradise,
Is an illusionary flight,
Lasting not even for a while…
The miasma of strife,
The hammering of words vile,
The sound of guttural cries,
Shatters his inner poise…
Bloodshed on all sides,
As person after person dies,
He watches in fright,
As people struggle to survive…
The smell of bloody tide,
The gory death sight,
The massacre, the turmoil,
His heart recoils…
Terror crams his wounded mind,
His dreams crumble and fears arise,
And yet he gathers all his might,
And gears up for the fight…
Lost in the valley of spite,
He erases all blood ties,
The beast of carnage thrives,
He knows nothing but dislike…
Love fails to rise,
Albeit he ceaselessly tries,
For, abhorrence defeats and destroys,
His compassionate inner voice…
