Bereft (a poem) Day 9
A humming bird without a song
A vehicle without a wheel
Wounds caused by wrong
From which you can't heal
Bereft of feelings
A silent burden to bear
All the daily dealings
Actions without any care
How long oh fate?
Can I endure the dread?
This hooked twisted bait
That leaves me alive yet dead.

ReplyDeleteWith clumsy eyes,
And Dry throats
Birds fly in the dawn
To the other nation.
In search of food!
With pool of thoughts
Why land is not fertile
enough to quench hunger?
Feeling others like our kins
In the day long journey
After hard work of day
Birds got enough food
Return together to nest,
With peace of mind.
