SLEEPLESS NIGHTS




It's being sleepless nights, the heart and mind tormented
Eyes can’t be shut without thoughts of thousands dying everyday
All that's left are memories, smile and love lost to wickedness and hatred
Hope deprived on our street, love deserted in midst the people
Everyone is a victim, the sun shut from our heart
Tears shed for corpse victimized by evil blooded heart
The living left with doubts and fear despite the words of thy Lord
Death gladly acquire the soul of brothers and sisters
Sojourned on a journey of thousand years
The moon's quiet and sober, the star mournful from afar
Thousand souls lost, misjudged without consent for the grieved
Life's unappreciated, disregarded and destroyed
Many years of uncalled slavery, selfishness and discontentment
A thousand candles light in my heart for the beloved lost unwholesomely
A prayer for her souls to find eternal restoration and rest
May thy will be upon man, and hatred, wickedness chased from our mist
Tears dried from our eyes and the night deemed with laughter and joy
And love broken back into hearts shed into pieces
