Too many hours spent in darkness
questioning...
"How
and...

why?"
Neha Chaudhary Dec 2015
Is it for the victims that I weep,
Or for the caged birds in hell,
Or for the miserable plight of children,
Or to the callousness of statesmen?

Vicious circles call for exploitation,
And slump us in the quicksand
Of avarice and heinousness.
And the spring gets lost in gelid sighs.

Human is indeed an animal.
A poem never meant to meet its instigator
A word lost in the very power of speech
Diverging from what we like to call Creator
I let my thoughts bleed and beseech

My spirit,a reflection,weaker than ever
a soul that constructs its own altar to burn
And as I put trust on my final endeavour
I prayed once more for Belphegor's return

For I was satisfied once in my ignorance
I hadn't known my wings were of wax
My exposure was soon followed by decadence
And gently my wings melted from facts

I wished long for destruction and anguish
But when plague came on my Stranger's way,
I felt empty like I'd never been selfish
Enough to flee from my judgment day

By my own mind I am declared outcast
For my heinousness it's late to repent
Only sailing accross the oceans of past
Keeps me alive in the mire of present

— The End —
