How do We Walk

How do We Walk

How do we walk with sadness on
black lands of tomorrow
scary shadows of darkness
surround us as our
land drifts away
melting the earth's muddy crust

 Shaggy trees mourn clean air
branches drag barefooted
hopeless in dry rugged terrains

The paradise of shear loss
bathe with teardrops of tainted waters
heritage of past survivors
souls of ancestors the admirers
witnesses of our struggle
of unsatisfied heritages

How do we walk
in remembrance
without care
in wit and prejudice
slipping down
naked hills
of tomorrow
in boiling terrains
of sorrow
