Haunted...


Golden rays, piercing through the trees,
Gifted with shades of red, brown and green,
They played and formed, natural swings,
Filling the world, with air to breathe,
When it was time, to the Earth they gifted, precious wings.

Wings of soil, for the rest of the trees,
A fertile land, for us human beings,
A pleasant formula, to the air we breathe,
Until one day, I heard them scream,
I saw their souls, was black, not green.

They suffered the flames, that was extreme,
Unbearable pain, from an axe, that's unclean,
From each of us, they asked for help, they screamed,
Instead we sat back, and enjoyed the scene,
They bid farewell, but not in peace.

For decades and decades, the same repeats,
We killed the air, with smoke that's unclean,
We poisoned them, we poisoned the trees,
They bid farewell, with a troubled soul, not free,
Yet we enjoyed, and watched the scene.

Until one morning, the air was filled,
With mist and dust, and air unclean,
We suffered the same, as the trees,
They've come back, the souls, they are not in peace,
They're back to haunt, they're here for justice.

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night,  When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The place which once was considered home by many...

I knew a place where people called home But they were considered unconscious prisoners They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people thought was paradise But they were considered brainless slaves They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people were ready to die for And the place was ready to kill them all They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people spent their days & nights The place welcomed them with fake delight They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people wasted their personal life And was encouraged and cherished for doing so They didn't know,  They didn't see it coming I knew a place who gave many their pride And burned that pride into ashes in a blink of an eye They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place which was everything to many But they were just a replaceable resource They d

Together Let's Plead...

There used to be days, He stared at the waves, With a smile on his face, Though his heart was scraped. For understanding he craved, Hiding in a dark cave, His sorrows were caged, By the judgments raised. He had no right, to shed a tear, In the light, he lived in fear, To survive, he did not need a beer, Yes he lives, on Earth, right here. The world would say, he's care free, I see him walking, bare feet, This sunny day, on the tar street, They helped him out, the shady trees. This sorrow my friend, would fade away, Our life on Earth, is a short stay, I know you're hurt, in many ways, To the selfish world, we all are preys. Feelings have turned from gold to steel, Idle creeps in to this life, to steal, Each day that ends, is a falling leaf, It's hard, to wake up, from this bad dream, To the one above, together let's plead. -Debra R.
