Tragedy

Tragedy! That’s the word -
Enough to put silence on every lips.
It’s become famous to today’s clumsy world.
Shuttering hopes, wincing shallow glimpse
To see beyond the walls of tomorrow.
Tragedy! It weighs tons -
Enough load for the heart to fake tears.
It is an unfolding switch of pros and cons
A villain undermining the triumph of nations for years.
A snaring dragon falsifying a sleep in the meadow.
Tragedy! It’s a hunt game on chase -
Where its hunters pray for a catch of their prey.
A mystery and puzzle case,
That take decades to solve I must say.
It’s become a deadly troll’s barrow.
Tragedy!A graveyard -
Where scavenging vultures feast.
A political creed of corruption, what a retard?
A greed infestation – a global heist,
A canker – that knows nothing of sorrow.
Tragedy! It’s become the orphanage cries,
A tormenting plight,
And the preachers lies.
A darkness to fight – by light,
Put all vanity to a shape – narrow.
