Litany of Poetic Devices
The night peevished in silence
Here on the grass I sit-but my heart stood
I hear my tiny thought tingle
It fluttered in my head like the wings of a bird
But, will this peace that I seek find me?
Even the sea is a lion that dares the dry land
Tick tock the clock sounds endlessly
Everyday was never a happy day
Fightings fightings killings
What a sad joy
More dead at hand. Souls finding the sole way to live
Whilst every smile was a pretense, there was more pains to harbour
The world drift slowly to its extreme end every seconds
But, will wait man, patiently , till love and unity king again.
