A million graves

A million graves


One life but too many 

Rivers of tears flowing  endlessly  

A stench of death in the atmosphere 

Can't you see,we are dying here!  

Even though our eyes cry endless tear 



Flies like bodies drop every minute 

Glass like hearts are broken to pieces 

Tired of reading these Rest in peaces' 

As though stars are granting the devil's wishes 

To let as rest in peace 


The real tragedy is the death of the living 

The ones who can't keep up with all this grieving 

The families breaking 

The breadwinners losing


One positive case 

Ten children starving 

A hundred families broken 

A thousand sources of income closing 

A million graves of people ,Just walking 

Dead men walking ?????
