Slivered Thoughts

I left home I have not returned yet A narrow stream runs behind my yard I throw seeds in it and hope for the sun to rise Beautiful coloured flowers will grow, Drops of rain fall The odour of wet earth fills my nostrils, I expired my energy in the course of the day The night calls again for endless contemplations, It was yesterday when you and I were friends Today you look at me with displeasure I gave you my heart My home became yours too, But you have turned it into a waste dumping site. My commonplace is in ruins. I have packed my luggage, In a couple of hours I will hug my loved ones Dearly beloved, Circumstances unknown have buried me down the earth I expressed a smile but You pulled out a rifle. Brother of mine, I love you still You have sent me to a place of perfect peace I gave you my honour But you humiliated my fragility imperishably You argue over petty issues Your lives are chaotic and insatiable I cry in silence for the beautiful memories And bad memories, I cry for the inhumanity But wait, what happened to truth and justice...?
