Sinking World

They say Everything is temporary Emotions, thoughts, people and scenery Never attached to anything Just flow with them This is a very good advice I should follow this and blow with them all But here is a man I know from his childhood Now he is above fifty Completely alone Before he was living under a tyranny called Saddam Later what he brought is not only his destruction But the annihilation of five million people Among them were his three young sons From fifteen to twenty five And his only daughter who was about seventeen Were taken by unknown military men In the jail first she was raped then murdered Then dumped in Till date her body is not found His tears has gone dry When he weeps sound does not come out It is only smoke The fire is in his eyes but he does not see any light All over is darkness All over is fog So dense it is that he cannot see far He cannot think better His mind moves round and round And asks himself one question Can war stop a war? But there is no answer in him With this question With all emotions and losses, people and scenery He cannot forget anything Nor can he float Just his world is sinking to an unfathomable deep From where he could only rise to take revenge.
