Jenish Somadas Poet Dizain

Break the Chain

Break! break! break dear friend, break the fretting chain
Wake! wake! wake yourself, not the time for sleep
Clean! clean! clean your hands, wash the little stain
Keep! keep! keep the distance, no time for weep.
Close! close! close your doors, sway of death in reap
Lay low, dim and low, let the season pass
Pain of ashes from unmade graves of mass
Frozen fear gripping through the silent hearts.

Let us hail those souls through our singing brass
Who kept fighting to save the human hearts.

Demetrios Trifiatis March 27, 2020 at 5:34 AM Excellent work reflecting our days! We are the lucky ones for up to now no wars in our lives. Now though we are called upon to face an invisible enemy. We must do what we are asked for the common good! We shall prevail! Wonderfully done dearest, Jenish!
