Abandon
Story of the displaced
The smiling crops and lush farms
Turned into skeletal ground of starved snakes and reptiles.
Musical nights and endless mysticism
Turned into cry and pang of starved children
Toys and dolls left untouched
Where once Artisans and guilds spoke splendours of history
Their dyes dried up with the talents to rags
Poets lament their patriotism
With youth trying to bring up the last energy they saved to fight back
Women whose beauty still gleams like waxing moon
Turned into scars and uncertainty of life.
Guns and swords of the heartless tyrant indiscriminate attack on priest and peasant
Cloud showed mercy by covering raging sun
Air blew with helpless guilt
