Darkness By Gautam R Nair

Into the dawn, i emerged... and i saw the flowers blossom around me, the birds chirping and I felt the dew drops on my bare feet as I walked through the lovely green grass.. oh yes it seemed to me like heaven.. !! And slowly the day went on.. eventually into the darkness, i plunged in Dark cloud of evil wrapped around me, and i saw the dead walk around me.. I walked on the dried dead leaves all around , and it seemed to me like hell...!! I saw whores being raped, I saw children being taken away from their mothers, the Kids around me were killing each other, love had no value.. politics had no ethics.. People had no trust... And i stood there.. in the middle of all confusion, that went on around me.. unknown to myself what i am... not able to decide where I fit in.. Not knowing how its is going to be ... to live the rest of my life..!! My mind yearned to see the light Again, Would there be any light any more? I dont know and neither do my fellows.. Like spring emerged , Leaving Winter behind, i yearned to emerge into the light , leaving darkness behind, the world seemed to grow darker and even Darker I wonder how long the fearful darkness is gonna be around. I still stand here in this dark world, The New Age... not able to realise where I fit in.... ---------------------------------------------Gautam R Nair
