An oracle shrilled past my ears
and opened my eyes it was dark
thought it to be a dream i laid down
but it haunted me like a ghost
the middle of the night it was; yet
dared to go out in search of my destiny
traveled past the mountains and the sees
and the deep valleys and the hills
the silence of the woods ;the howls of the demons
played the choral song to my journey
asked the spirits and the stars
what destiny awaited me
their mute response drove me mad
and the body began to retreat
but the soul as it was determined
huddled its way through the towering obstacles
on my way heard loud cries of men and
the mourning of women and dirty children
saw the fires and the fumes in the houses
and the remnants of tanks and shells
the children fighting among themselves for their bread
shot down his brother to get his share
smashed buildings and mobs running after choppers
to catch the bits of bread throwing from above
They failed to catch the showers of god
the gifts of love brotherhood and companionship
Now struggling hard ;pulling others to ground
to catch the bread thrown at them by the devils
the sounds and scenes made me pause
both body and soul ;as cold as ice
hold out my hands to an unknown mother
shared the vine bottle to an unknown brother
lost my way in search of my goal
now the call of duty is what rings my ears
conscience murmured in my ears
do your duty ; reach your destiny
