RESCUE ME

Muddy streets

day and night

moths abound.





Hearts stink

bodies rot

Where to go?



Ah, the world!

Ah, the role

that I play!





Summer sun

scalding winds

rip shadows.





Murderers

enjoy life

No one cares.





How to live

in this land?

where to hide?





Unseen Friend,

will you hear?

And rescue me?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Composed on the evening of June 14, 2002. A suicide bomb attack outside the US Consulate claimed at least eight lives and injured many others. Feeling depressed.

The insanity will it ever cease?
Where to go, when every road's a dead end?
What to do when there is no peace?
Who to call when no one is a friend?
And all the goodness that you dreamed
has faded on life's screen
we are but figments of imaginations
nations divided by congregations
So, who am I but a stranger
lost among the clowns
taking the stage
until they knock me down.
