Nothing to lose?

English Poetry |
The deep dark shadows of our minds
Set out, into the night
Fearless, as a beast,
Invisible, to our sight.
As the moon peeks from behind the dense clouds,
It faces their cold stare
They all rise in unison
To fight the battles those were unfair
The Earth’s bed rumbles now,
It’s getting hollow from inside.
Its spirit eaten away,
By the dark human side.
And now even She doesn’t care,
If a beast lives inside.
She will surely show,
Her power, as we divide…
An eye for an eye,
And the heart missed a beat.
So much of hatred inside,
Slumbering in the heat.
Is our conscience asleep?
Or do we pretend to ignore.
That our bodies are no more,
And our spirit is all sore.
So much do we hate this place?
That life is no more precious.
Just an object we possess,
Just as worthless as we are here.
Have we succeeded to deceive?
Our mind, faithlessness and negativity ooze
All the innocence lost, we now believe,
There is nothing more to lose.
Are we not forgetting what we are fighting for?
We were the bright stars, in the setting dawn.
From what we aspired to become,
We have come too far.
Destroyed the keep,
And lost the golden hour.
The trickle of tears, hopes are torn,
Shooting stars fulfil no wishes no more…
That life is no more precious.
Just an object we possess,
How true in this day and age when all important is all that is actually worthless!
Reading your poetry after a long time Arshaj! Enjoyed it .
We still have to be hopeful of a better future
Future lives count on us!
A beautiful poem and thought provoking muse too.
Enjoyed the poem very much but felt something to show some light at end of the tunnel could have made the poem outstanding.
“Our mind, faithlessness and negativity ooze
All the innocence lost, we now believe,
There is nothing more to lose.
Are we not forgetting what we are fighting for?”… beautiful lines in the context.
