Confusion's Master Piece!

WreckageBehold the lights that are down,
Atop a colossal wreckage.
Buried beyond the destroyed heap
Lies a fortune dormant!
Scorn the power of fate holding,
Sway of the life's sail.
Heap conglomerated - daunting too.
Stands a threatening footage.

Gods and Goddesses nailed tongue withal:
Hither -
Spouting life is dead.
Born of chaotic stench shall be
Unchecked -
A demon !! With thousand heads!

Life what bloomed autumn and spring
Cool summer with snowfall warm,
Chaos gripped the world's spin,
Lost - world - season's charm.


Tears!!!Cherished dreams ,those day dreamt too
A shattered mirror to millions!
Glimpse of an eye is shivered with,
Reflecting mocks in Billions!!
All that's left behind,
Like naked infant innocent.

The pain, the cry; overwhelming
Gnawing of fate - unprotected!

Eyes terrified, with tears dried;
Contemplate -
The Confusion's Masterpiece!!


This poem was written on May 17th '1999. I was expressing just a fraction of shock I felt upon the sudden demise of my mother! I humbly dedicate this note and the poem to those who lost their lives on Sept 11th'2001 .I can very well understand and feel the pain that the relatives carry! I convey my condolences to them.
