Torn Humanity

Talk about heart, talk about home,

Those insane visuals…. Buried me in all pain.

Aaah!!

Humanity torn apart and all efforts to protect girl child in vain?

Talk about pain, Ask me what it is?

Compression of information in few heavy words or

Hiding of emotions if any or concealing pain in smile curtain,

Talk about the whole world, except me

This pain is overbearing, unspoken, quiet, heavy- though non-chalant

Fathom yourself, decipher and comprehend right now

After bestowing all this pain, expect me to smile?

Forget the tales about home and dwellers,

I am buried in my own malaise, how can I diminish that of any.

Talk about the whole world, except me

Heard that mention and screamed in epiphany.

For whom you are debating,

Who are these insane beings you are talking about,

Talk about the whole world, except me

Set ablaze me and my heart to lower the pain.

Buried in Pain: Healing in Progress!!
