Gladly lift your somnolent eyes from this crumpling floor

And slowly cast your hesitant gaze towards the faltering fore

Listen to the air courteously because its eyes can clearly see everything here, elsewhere

Now open yours because what you shall see will wake you up from your slumber

Something that you will never see here or anywhere

There is a furious storm that is wrathfully heading towards you and us standing here

It is coming irately to guzzle the rain that your bows are aiming at us outsiders

When you look closely my Sister you will see that it is now high noon at the end of this road

The road that is replete with stifled, broken bones, burnt tyres and bodies

You will see those blank, hungry and hopeless shells over there

Scurrying for cover away from a home that has never been home even to its alleged owners

Then there is this gradual, inescapable collapse into extinction

Of this mirage you have been calling rainbow land

So too are damaged muscle tissues of the mind here and there

So in my shell I will hide

Like a cornered tortoise

Because I am afraid of the jarring sound

Of the noise that is furiously coming your variegated way

Since your sun is fading anyway
