In the Silence of Violence

In the Silence of Violence 


The piece of silence
Shot into the sky; 

Then, a piece of sky
Fell into the fire;

The lives of hundreds
Were burnt
And the heart of earth
Was bent; 

For the mistake of
Flying in that zone
Where devils play
The time is wounded
With sight of fight
And fallen as piece
Of history;

That foe is unknown
From those known 
And un-grown

From that secret place
With that violent silence; 

Yesterday 
That bird MH 370;

And 
Today
The bird MH 17;

We don’t know
What will be their next
Target tomorrow?

It’s all a surreptitious strategy 
An endless annihilation 
And a ceaseless ablaze; 

The world holding its heart
In its fist and revolving 
Around 
As deserted woman
Carrying her children; 

The time
And the sky
Embalming their wounds
With their own cream
Are looking 
Into the future
With too much fear!
