Voice of Treason - 31.12.2018


In the memory of fallen stars,
I stood as soldiers did, on the ground below...
Knees bent, tears dropping in the wind
Raining falling on the grave in front of me
Arms are shaky, crossed as if to hold
What was left inside a hollow ribcage to rot. 

And then I came to realize, death
Was a path to salvation too, only to stop the breath
Of every one they held dear, choking
On the mustard gas, blood on their face washed by rain, hoping
To escape from the nearby
Molotov glass, praying
That this too shall pass.

But what hope is to be had? And what prayer to be sung?
As long as their mother's laments are sung in the background,
A scent of slaughter, these children were too young
For games of blood and lust, anger and gore on the battleground...

How empty and cold the world really is?
How evil a king, a general, mere beasts ...
Are kinder than what currently exists,
So-called society, and culture and civilization
Is it worth to sacrifice their innocence for the sake of a nation?
