cruelty conquers light of earthly living
by tools of narrow endings of mortality
devours the sweet breath of air
humanism is still a mockery by greed

mist of dawn happens to disown truth
by black curtain of wild fear of night
cry of innocence rumbles at criss-cross
gleaning tears to eyes at grave yard

yet I am speechless to their love of reason
as rogue’s eyes smudge over humble smiles
where is the mankind lost in delusion
as illusion pervades by dogmas of religion

where is the belief as when disillusioned
fear flounces to rock rhythm of blood
love smolders in its room of smitten wall
would you not come back to embrace tomorrow
