nothing ever changes

By neha bhat

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

our fortunes our misgivings a look ahead and a look behind in future there is nothing to find hazy is what lies behind... pain, torture, grief and accusations, moments of peace and quiet razed in hue and cry in diatribes... unsung songs muted voices silent eyes all tear filled but gone dry... voices unheard-- decisions taken arson, misery, stoning and death. barriers and divides unsketched yet drawn lines walls abound separation seeds implanted. safety lies here untouched. undone and done victims victimised manipulators win. peace disrupted quiet disrupted anger and pain raging the roads. tolerance down barricades up hands wield arms instead of flowers. nothing can set right an 'accident' that went wrong. until today nothing changes people come people go time comes and times goes... yet nothing is there here that ever changes. ever.
