What Now!

More Lives?

By Muhammad BayazeedPublished 8 months ago 2 min read
Craving Colour - By Muhammad Bayazeed

Shall all with strength sleep away their energies,

and shall all stripped of life huff and puff?

//

Shall all dressed with ability destabilize,

shall those bare of moral go on tough?

//

What is this nonsense?

Enough! Enough! Enough!

//

Can electric run through torn circuits,

and shall black holes present us light?

//

Why does man call upon calamity,

is he not the victim of his own plight?

//

Enough with this nonsense!

Enough! Enough!

//

Where were you then,

when those thirsty stretch-

ed their hands?

//

What brings you now,

when there remain,

no such demands?

//

Shall we forgive,

and forget?

//

Shall we forget?

Shall we forget?

//

What about compensation,

and consequences?

//

What about change,

and lessons?

//

What about regret?

What about regret?

//

Enough! Enough!

//

What is this upside down era!

What is this upside down era!

//

What is this BBC, FOX, Al-Jazeera!

Souls being sold for a pound,

a dollar, a dime, a lira!

//

Enough! Enough!

Enough with this nonsense!

Enough! Enough!

//

What happened to men of stature,

nobility, and stand!

//

What happened to true conquerors,

hearts more so than land!

//

What happened to those seeking drops,

through deserts in joy!

//

What happened to hearts pounding with purpose,

never distracted by decoy!

//

Where are you humans,

where are you?

//

Why are we calling!

Why are we calling!

//

Is this a generation of thriving?

This is advancement and prosperity?

//

How appalling!

How appalling!

//

Enough! Enough!

Enough! Enough!

//

Leave the devil!

Leave the devil!

//

Most sly!

Most sly!

//

Befriend The Special!

Befriend The Special!

//

Most High!

Most High!

//

Who is this friend of yours,

what does he call you to,

blood, battles, war?

//

Oppression,

suppression,

depression,

more?

//

What is this nonsense!

What is this nonsense!

//

Enough! Enough!

Enough! Enough!

//

Human has left humanity,

We have been left with I-T-Y.

//

Innocence is being tortured,

I see why.

//

Incompetent, irrational, intolerant, idiots!

Tainted with treachery and tantrum,

Training to terrify?

//

Why? Why? Why?

//

You yammering yacks!

Making this world yackety-yack!

Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!

//

That's what we say,

Yuck!

//

What is this nonsense?

Enough! Enough! Enough!

//

What now?

What now?

//

More death?

More lives?

//

Enough!

Enough!

//

More life!

More life!

More life!

More life!
