Amidst the chaos
June 4, 2024
I don't know
What I had fallen on
Either the cannons approach me
Or the bullets aiming my forehead
Where my shoes are lost
along with my feet,
my eyes forgot to seek
as tears wet my cheeks
I don't know,
despite of my living mind,
what had cracked my drums
Neither the shrills of pellets
Nor the mourns of thousands,
The only thing I know is ,
'It's my land, where I grew,
proud to be born here'.
