****** CIRCUMSTANCES
We were the perfect guards
Sworn to uphold honour,serve and protect humanity
Until greed imprisoned us all
We became war merchants
We were fashioned to be priceless
we came out being auctioned
We were traded in an organised manner
We became sorrow to the people who saw us as happiness
We became distasteful to the ones who worshipped our taste
We brought pain to the people we were sworn to protect
We turn children playing ground to their burial ground
We became circumstances for victim of circumstances
Until the hunter became the hunted
We could feel the sorrow,we could see the hatred
We could hear the voices of our victims
Piercing through our minds,crying to be heard
Voices graduated to sounds which envelope our thought
Crippled our sense of belonging
We became lost in our own hatred..
Rejected by the illusionist and the perfectionist
Deactivated by the authority
****** CIRCUMSTANCES
