WAS UNEXPECTED
THANKFULLY, NO ONE SHOT DEAD
ROOM WAS FULL OF DREAD
Four gunshots go off
down, down, down, I go,
I wasn't even there
Sadi gaal gaal tawadi gaal josh obaal,
Sadi gaal gaal tawadi gaal hunar Kamal.
(Ye 2 numbri drama double standard kyun)
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.
ICT Supari killer I know I will be killed,
Holes inside my body & I will be drilled.
SaiLMan Shah shadi kab karwao gay,
Apni new dulhan kab chudwao gay??
Note.Oye Bay gairta dramay baza..
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
i think of the vets
horrible ptsd
my dogs ears hurting
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
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
Murder of treasures,
Of atlanta pints of blood
And warmth shiny cloud.
