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
