Before Search

Before Search

Though there were oscillations
Still peace was young
Wherefrom the uncertainty encroached
Everywhere in my vicinity around

Engine stopped instead paddle ran, pedestrian began
Shutter degraded down closing vibrant dawn
Children remained without school and milk
Old people shrugged shaking shoulder
What is this? Why this?
Always as we are in desolated shrine

Youths ate free food soon and gathered to volleys 
Wow! In lieu of production and export 
Daily markets roared we lost our fans
A deaf and blind murmured
I need to reach for ointment in town

Far in the street wheezing of Ambulance 
Crossed passed near from burnt and overturned
Pacific lives hurled towards veering
Before search as was my town
Please bring back before search claimed

Projection in the evening in Radio and in Internet
Gentlemen blew free conversation
Fresh News and views of Mountain hills and of Plain 
Announcing, proclaimed as it was of today

Before search lives were crawling any way
After search tremendous lives crippled every thing away. 

Demand was adamant, tone was of determination
Without fulfilment of wants we don’t leave, we don’t leave
On wall posters were diluted with water
High command was busy with press declaration

Match making was disordered filling tears in eyes 
With heavy throat bloating there stayed with peace poor
Completion of clauses cried we need we need
Cloud past slowly with air to disclose matter every where

Sky remained same always sometimes it bothers to search
But rumour in town had escalated, was planning learning from earth 
Shakes of earth demolished budgets of many years 
Think if sky falls down what will be for skyscraper!
