And the monsters ravenously stirred Beneath the bleeding raging waters Snarling and sniffing for the fleshes Of the ill-sacrificed victims Drifting in ‘patriotic’ futility That is nay the harvest of beasts As crocodiles’ halves tile the mires Feasting in the bleeding waters Of sleepless sleeping souls Then the day dies loudly At each dying breath of the fishes Wriggling higgledy-piggledy in death While tears fall like pregnant rains Yet, bulged beasts would submerge With spoils of blood and bones To the ensconced nests of their brood Whereas the days burn in bliss As thus the worst has come to it Let the blood erupts from the womb Of these turbulent waters Till the least fish lives In a bloodless water of peace « return. |
