History!

History!

Want, wanted we more

For our wings grew, galore

Had to be a fight

To give up, to surrender

Did not learn, we, being human

Not that it must, but as for our lust

Lust as it grew, for all we wanted was anew

New life, new world, new air, new sky

New colour, new things, new day, new nights

And more, more, more and more.

Oh dear, Never ever had us any clue

Of what were we doing, where would it lead?

 Passion, humanity, God, named it as we wanted

Alas! Remained it just synonyms of greed!

Greed, and why not

Isn't what awareness allowed us to?

Awareness we thought it was, but was it? No.

Sunk deep in trance, we had lost our stance

More a machine, scattered pieces of cell

As heart kept bleeding watching it to fail

With hopes fading as fast as memories off our skin

Hatred growing thick and compassion thin

With painted faces, and glittering sins

As our plastic mouths opened wide and grins.

We remain the master, we always were, will

For us made-up the world, we picked moments to fill

And more we tried to fill; we had this ever-growing void

For more smiles we faked, several souls cried

Cried they aloud, cried them high

For we just closed the eyes, turned our heads away

Yet a question ringed, in the void it swayed

Who would wake us up, who could turn the game?

God! Who? One we created for our self

To amuse, to kill, to laugh, to thrill

And let it bear the pain of cries

While we enjoy our handful of lies.
