A Lone World by Sushant Thapa

A Lone World 


A lone world 

Will lose friends by the porch. 


Glances of affection 

Will turn to desert sands. 


The evening will be devoid of stars, 

How unnatural will be the sky. 


Nights that turn to walls 

Will grow teeth 


There will be cheerless freedom walks, 

I will not meet you once more. 


A lone world, 

Will rule its freedom. 


It will tear the banners of protest, 

And fear humanity’s last redemption. 


Evening is at the climax, 

Wounded is the night. 


Rhythm is lost,  

Caricature is a foul mirror.

 

A lone world 

Celebrates cheerlessness.
