It's hours come abruptly
The guards slack in duty
No signal have they given
It's invasion comes toward ripping

Fortnight ago, frolicking
Moments seemed eternal
Time laughs frenetically
Heaven opens it's palms welcoming

Our moment remains unknown
With a surge of energy, man collapses
Feets remains turgid
Life presents itself rigid

Eyes open by grace
People wave palms in seconds
Sleep becomes a journey
Not many returned

I seek within myself
Hearts pound with tension
My deeds I scrutinize
For my time is untelling.
