DINNER CANCELLED

WAS UNEXPECTED

THANKFULLY, NO ONE SHOT DEAD

ROOM WAS FULL OF DREAD

Feelings from a distance

Four gunshots go off
down, down, down, I go,
I wasn't even there

Gali Galoch

Sadi gaal gaal tawadi gaal josh obaal,
Sadi gaal gaal tawadi gaal hunar Kamal.
(Ye 2 numbri drama double standard kyun)


Silent Night

We remember

That night of horror
When the future was stamped and the cogs were slain
When the execution ground shone red with blood
The blood of the helpless cogs

We remember the horrors
Gunshots like fireworks 
The cries of cogs like wolves in the night
As devil's favourite demons feed on raw flesh

We remember the depressed winds
The howling of the tortured winds
The breeze of grief. Of cold steeled grief.
As the cogs kneel with tears in their cheeks
Hands grasping the blood stained shield
Songs of hope in their trembling lips.
Fire! The only noise from the blood crazed hunters
As more cogs fall on the blood soaked floor.

Mother's in pain
Father's groaning inward
Siblings gathered around the dining table
Waiting for the blood filled dinner plate.

We remember the silence
The blood thick silence
The howls of the winds
As it whispers "gory" "gory".

We Shall Not Forget.

Ricochet

ICT Supari killer I know I will be killed,
Holes inside my body & I will be drilled.

Sailman

SaiLMan Shah shadi kab karwao gay,
Apni new dulhan kab chudwao gay??
Note.Oye Bay gairta dramay baza..


Premium Member Gunshots

Immortal is the writer’s eyesight,
ball of rolled up phrases and rhythms;
Particle of sand through fingertips 
portal of blurred pictures for poems;

Meant to be captured in her wordplay 
spent she sifted through blue lit thoughts;
Disorient edges slip to focus,
torment is soothed her pen fires gunshots.

sounds like gunshots
fireworks getting closer
i feel threatened

horrible ptsd
my dogs ears hurting

In That Moment

We are in that moment sweet darling 
The wonderment of pain is upon us 

The trees are going to wail as they grumble 
Soldiers footsteps will be heard as they fumble 

We are in that moment sweet loved one 
The horrendous flashback of pain will descend upon you 

You stood tall way back when 
But this is now, it is not back then

We are in that moment sweet planet 
A millions stars dance above us 

The earth cries out once more
The oceans scream like never before

We are in that moment sweet soldier 
Your heart will now beat like a drum in a March

Smoke your last roll up and soak in the air 
For soon it will be too painful to bear

We are in that moment sweet mother 
As your tears fall like rain from a leaf

Soldiers footsteps stamp on the ground 
Gunshots and bombs are the only sounds

We are in that moment sweet humanity

Pray for our world 
Pray our people 
Ukraine we love you 
We are all equal

Premium Member Gunshots In My Neighborhood

Kansas City is over her head with joy
First the Royals won the World Series
Now the Chiefs have conquered the Super Bowl.

We are comparing stories.
What we were eating.
How hard we were yelling.

How long we heard fireworks on Sunday.
One twenty-six a.m. I told them with pure happiness.
That's nothing one of our favorite female busdrivers said.

In my neighborhood we can't afford fireworks.
I heard automatic rifles going off until two-thirty-two a.m.
She obviously won the one-upmanship contest.

Gunshots

Gunshots

Murder of treasures,
Of atlanta pints of blood
And warmth shiny cloud.
