“ONCE A WARRIOR”
At an outstanding pace, my feet tremble…
Endlessly spaced but the pile of trash is all I can see,…
Unseen flowers whispers to my ears but thorns are what I feel, …
The fragrance seems appealing but deep down it is pungent.
I roar in distress as the pain becomes unbearable, perhaps it’s part of the purification process.
Now, even my shadow has swallowed me, sinking in the cloud of thoughts.
The faster I run, the deeper the furthering…
I searched around but not even a bone remained, across the horizon littered with broken earth.
I thought I could give my all, but guilty of unreasonable guilt
Charged with reasons of treason,…
My loyalty was thrown away, and my people became the opponents of life…
In tears, I became, “once a warrior”, with the lyrics of retreat.
I’ve fallen so deep to be beheaded afterwards the beautiful setting of the sun…
Gravely, I’ll wish for an afterlife in a better world…
A world where betrayal never exists.
