The Lingering Disquiet
Written By Poet Nazir
(A poem directed to the conflict that aroused between Ukraine and Russia. May it cease now!)
We, with a hardened steeping heart
Close our eyes to recall
The spicy smiles
The days at the morgue
And the lifeless days we depart.
We have awoken the realm of possibilities
Discharging off bullets in realities
Tasting the dose of our thumbs
And taking sides in a steaming haste
Why must we fight to test powers?
Let the lingering disquiet cease
To reminisce the times with peace
If the strings of love strives
Our adoration melt coals of appreciation
To blin the flying bullets off duty.
Not the first time to sacrifice peace for war
But this hath crossed the days from afar
To distress the calmness of our nights
Mornings without greetings
And nights without sleep.
The violent is an awoken death
Forcing tears out; heart pelting in great sorrow
The men in front; a husband with a beloved wife
A shelter to a destitute family
And a citizen to an ardent religion.
After the massacres
Let medals award the conquerors
And let the blood flood the bones of the departed
Let the nation hail the vessel in order
And let their decisions haunt them an advise.
When this is over
The brutality shall swim the news
Tatter the world with an absolute peace
And tell history the false truth with ease
Today’s a day in blue; a black day in February.
