Dusk
to dawn and back again we toil
The cursed earth on which we tread
This lonely aisle we all take
Day by day eating the crusty soil
In a file we go back and forth
Gathering the remains of memories past
Building high mansions
To which we may never return
Pretty faces we meet along the way
Gives hope to our dying hearts
Beautiful memories of which we cherish
We pick without merit
Holding on to hope
Praying we never break apart
Praying we may not be crushed
By life’s unending merciless turmoil
Day by day we tread
Marching to the tunes
Of the slave masters whip
That leads us all to the merciless deep
Through the mist we grope
Blind leading the blind
Following only our sense of reasoning
Taking step after step
When shall this slavery end?!!
When shall we rest?!!
Who shall save us?!!
And to our weary backs tend?!!
Our legs hurt!!!
Everyday we tell ourselves“
We just can’t take it anymore!!”
Carrying this burden is just too much!!
But we have to
Until we reach the place of no return
Where our limits would be exceeded
And our backs remoulded to a hunch
But could there be a possibility of hope
To this endless punishment?
Could there possibly be an Island
Where lush green grows?
The smiles seem to work
Covering the inner ghost
Clothing the pain
Hiding the ache
Soon we shall be no more
My memory deleted from existence
Knowing this fact we proceed
Until we can’t take it anymo…………………
