![]() Savior of NightmaresA Poem by Uzair![]() In search of destruction, the absence of hope may i call it.![]()
Savior of Nightmares, dazed I stand
Curtains of White, ploughed through the land.
Afore dawn I strike, with vengeance of past
Raising the vanished, among the million lost.
Savior of Nightmares, fragile I seek
In the valley of deceit, there is no peak.
Lives of men, marred by fear
Of dreams of dear, not pain and tear
A little bud of green, not an inch tall
Tattered by winds, leaves still too small
Nascent, he dreams of raising high
Like the many, buried near by
This sole hope, must be curbed
This envisioned peace, disturbed.
Desire of prosperity, proved a vanity
as aids In, fathoming, the sham authority
That carnage, paraded to him again
Mutated bodies, dead still in pain.
cries of vain, sobbing of blood doused rain,
all mundane, and
yet humane !
Green gets blurred, as it falls gray
Shivers with his ghosts,
as I foray.
Hope shrinks, as his pluck shrivels
His heart wails, his world swivels
Astound! His dream
persists
The reel ends, the force exists.
In defeat, I turn away
Proclaims he, before the first ray.
“I dream, not of valor
Of freedom, freedom from struggle.
I dream, not of
height
Of peace, peace
from might
I dream, not of glory
Of
recognition, recognition of my
existence.
For with freedom, peace and recognition
I shall have my valor, height and glory”
PS : Hope lives, as always?
Aha Dahlia, Sigh! In your memory.
The dream makes me alive
Else, dead I am.
