Land is silent,
Sky dark blue
Sufferings spew blood
Over children's graveyard
Tear-stained parents
Beat their chest
Cursing their helplessness
Cannot stretch hands to
Wring the throats
Of merciless animals
Thousands miles away
In another faraway world
Mother's heartbeat
skips
As she kisses in the air
To her children
On their way to school
Unsure
Will they be safe?
She dusts the furniture
Cooks a quick meal
Watches the clock
Plays with her hands
Unable to focus
Her life somersaults
In an uneven pause
Till they return
Chirping and smiling
Back from school
