In the Silence of Violence

In the Silence of Violence The piece of silence Shot into the sky; Then, a piece of sky Fell into the fire; The lives of hundreds Were burnt And the heart of earth Was bent; For the mistake of Flying in that zone Where devils play The time is wounded With sight of fight And fallen as piece Of history; That foe is unknown From those known And un-grown From that secret place With that violent silence; Yesterday That bird MH 370; And Today The bird MH 17; We don’t know What will be their next Target tomorrow? It’s all a surreptitious strategy An endless annihilation And a ceaseless ablaze; The world holding its heart In its fist and revolving Around As deserted woman Carrying her children; The time And the sky Embalming their wounds With their own cream Are looking Into the future With too much fear! © R K Chowdary 19July2014 P.S: [In tribute to all those 298 passengers belonging to various counties, killed in the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which has crashed in Ukraine, on the border with Russia, which was shot down by a missile on 17.7.2014]
