After the Rock Concert Is Over

The heights were reached 

         with the help of hasheesh

but the dancing and 

    the sound 

has stopped 

   The crowd in the park 

        exits 

and silence takes over 

    once again 

   Do you sincerely believe 

that all pain 

    was negated by the deafening sound? 

Well, it was great 

    but one must answer to fate 

  ONE MUST ANSWER TO FATE!
