When Hope Dies

Mithila Gogate posted under Poetry Tale-a-thlon S1: Poetry on 2021-08-21



Apathy, gloom, Spell doom Of murdered innocence, Of life’s evanescence, An evil dominance.  A nation demolished, cataclysmal  Attacks and wounds, visceral. Patriarchy, anarchy metastasizes, dismal Future in statis, abysmal.  They weep, with bloody eyes, Scratching the promises and lies, Strangled amidst the diplomatic ties.  A shroud darkens the skies, Painted red, when hope dies.  Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
