Smoke in a Door-Less Room

Recommend

Fog lingers low across our lands,

The icy windows slammed firmly shut;

The walls guarded and off limits,

Nowhere to go, no hope of escape.

 

The lonely wonder to the hidden horizon,

Dim lights try, in vain, to pierce the gloom;

Show the lost the star- lit path

The smoke is chocking, a cloak of the missing

 

What goes on beneath that dark veil?

A cloud of constant darkness, a cover for evil,

A rainless cloud the wind cannot blow away,

Like smoke in a door-less room.

 

We feel free as the breeze in our lands

But the walls are solid, sturdy stone;

Freedom crushed by swirling dark despair,

A dark that harbours heaven and hell.

 

But not blazing torch found in hand,

No burning revolution of humanity:

We stay bound by our locks and our chains

Trapped like smoke in a door-less room…
