Written by Shruti Shandilya

 

On a typical night,

Occured a mythical blight.

Turning towards the stars upright, 

Hazy skies, gloomy eyes- all witness 

The hopeless Demise. 

 

Dooming upon the sorrows, inert

Yearning desires instigating revert.

Desperation in vain, 

Irredeemable toil. 

Stood there enduring 

The hopeless Pain. 

 

Regard to own the cries unheard 

Lies still, trapped and earthed.

Heed to bless despondent lives, 

Was the price to pay

a hopeless Demise?

 

Demise is the wrong swing,

For the last breath stolen was

a treacherous sting. 

The fatal striking- a deadly blow 

The lives of deprived, left 

Utterly hollow.
