Yatih Jha Poet Elegiac Lyric

My Last Thoughts

I hear the screams of pain,
Falling on deaf ears in vain.
I see children crying over dead parents,
And parents crying over dead children,
While spouses cry over their dead mates,

I try not to panic as they lead me to a camp,
As the fear of future leaves my cheeks damp.
The darkness of the explosion surrounds me,
While I try to shield myself from the painful emotional heat. 
And run away to not turn into a lifeless meat.

It leaves the children traumatized,
And the children terrorized,
As they struggle to live their way out of a mass homicide.

The gods cease to exist,
And leave us with the sadistic devils to resist.

I see my future in the flames,
And my entire life bursting up in their diabolical games.
I hold my friend’s hand,
As I see everything I cherish, crumbling into the sand.

Hope seems to be miles away,
When all I see is the slope of barrel pointing my way.
So I do what I need to do,
I kneel. I bow. And I surrender.
And finally let a tear fall, 
Before my soul leaves my body with a guns thunder.
