I Need a Sign
I am seated in the dark
Listening to the soundless sound, yet calming.
I'm gazing upon the millions of stars
Some are brighter than the others,
While some gets brighter and then go dim,
Appearing and disappearing
Yet none of them quarrel with one another.
Looking at this live piece of Art
gives me butterflies and a strong sense of peace
that is rare to find from man nature.
So will I keep gazing upon the sky
while there is life to live in this flesh and blood?
I am caught up in a beautiful dream,
Eventually I should open my eyes
else I could be robbed of Life,
What is the meaning of this life lately,
When it gives a piercing stare?
Scared I am not and obviously not wise enough
to balance the equation.
So I gaze upon the firmament.
The Mankind are at war with one another
They are at each other's throats
Fighting for power and dominion.
This is a winning battle in disguise
The Mother of hatred; poverty and suffering.
The Earth is broken
Her Offspring are scattered and far away from home
Some Brothers and Sisters are lamenting from dawn to dusk
seeking for self liberation.
Same people that were supposed to lead us home
are the ones leading us to the doom.
It just becomes more darker by day.
Sons and Daughters of the Soil are in turmoil
Stripped naked their only essence of Life
hence there is a Pandemic of Self ignorance
Clothed with happy Family Selfies and
Boutique Attires on empty shells.
Children are drowning in their tears
Fathers and Mothers are walking decaying corpse
and making ends meet,
Cause there is no food for a lazy man.
Tonight I am Sky gazing
Please wake me up when this is all over.
I need a Sign.
