Fireflies

In the callow glare of dusk

Within incense of the gory husk

As setting was the fireball

Drowning the star night shall befall

In the deafening sound of might

In the blinding flash of light 

Everything was silent

When the innocent child opened his eyes, there was death, destruction and violence…

Moths were drawn to the flames

Wise men turned insane

Buildings and structures reduced to dust

Demons were crawling with blood lust

In ashes, ashes humanity fell down

 Smiles were replaced with tears and frowns

Tiny palm had no finger to hold

To cuddle his mother an infant rolled

In that heart-breaking, devastating sight

Two innocent eyes saw in awe, alluring infinite fireflies…
