Come see
Awakened by the chirping of the midnight birds
The thunderous noise made by Ulaga’s voice
Serenity took its place
Neighbours conflicting in pandemonium
Briskly, I hurried to the scene to see its cause
Numbers upon numbers
People climbing people
We gathered to see the horrific, like a broken flower
Mayhem, chaos, terrific words kept undefined
Fear, cruel struck its anonymous kindness
Black vicinity i called it
Women crying and trumpeting their mourn
Men with hands on their pointed jaws in awe
Questionable questions they asked
Why? It was challenged to God
Tears rolled down my eyes to my top lips
Shoulders shrugged to what has befell and visited
What a cruel world so unfair
My mouth so heavy with flinching words
Only if you could come see the unpredicted happenings
Do help me with a name
How else can i describe it?
A moment stricken with sadness.
Torments, wickedness and immorality
Trials, black morning, i wished we saw it all
Then; my neighbour shouted bros nepa wan come cut light o,
Was when i realized it was all a day dream.
