Humanly Sacrifice

Fireworks dance and flourish in the air Like the pairs of lovers in the innocent sky The nostalgic tune plays from the flute Like the tormented smile of the little brave girl When happiness and jolliness echos through town When suddenly they vanish into vacuum in a BANG Missing like the name of the little brave girl What will the eagles do behind their wings? Shirking from the absence of familiar tone Reinviting the lover's dance to the night Closing their eyes to sink into the tune The eagles pack up their bags and leave Departs their home and leave the present Leaving that girl with a broken smile When all the fests drown in the water The audience shall open their ears in the silence When all light extinguishes into thin air The watchers shall open their eyes in the dark Sacrificing the impossibles in our dream The pairs of lovers in the innocent sky The brave little girl with a tormented smile It is the most humanly sacrifice one could make

My poem was inspired by this refugee girl in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLjbVPzGjfI
