A Phantom Reality

by Arshi

the earth itself cries

at the loss of humanity

the betrayal of peace

chaos dancing barefoot everywhere

the earth woes to human race 

the ones fettered by shackles of corruption

playing clumsily with dishonest cards 

the game of life 

the earth bleeds heavy 

shivers at the sins of humans 

all the blood stains it soaked 

of uncountable innocents who always paid the price

the earth will never forget

it will never forget
