Redlights

Urge me to run away,

Across boundaries of wars,

And black mornings,

Eventually turning into ashes,

While deafened by the cacophony.

Mothers prayed for their children ,

Prayed for a safe haven.

They saw the fading light of homes

Being burnt to death

While the epic glory of tireless bloodshed,

Made way into a deadspin of history.

Wombs were sought-after

For no Haven this safe exists.

For your punch on those keys,

Is a rebellion against the tide.

We were taught to dream,

For a home of fortitude, love.

Limping on my belief of mercy,

I mark you on that golden masonry.

Waving at me, flickering into this daunting sunlight.

We’ve certainly been raised,

In a way that dreads tears.

Being a guiding light on the verge of a shutdown,

In itself is a kryptonite.

To all those who yearn for home,

A place to delve and relish,

Savour and plenish,

Until our kinship outlives all the perils.

We’re too young to talk about “Home”.

Meaningless, yet a delight in one’s own plight.

We’re wearing sleeves, worth mourning,

In this stricken Paradise across borders.


As I’m hanging in there, you’re doing the same I hope..with this effort to sue up your minds… I’d like you to be thankful for once..this was needed..we had to STOP!

Keep hanging…take care

Thank you.

        I’m fine, Samyak. Yes, I’m safe. We’re done with lockdown over here, but there is still a curfew. Have a great day.
