Upon the sparse landscape
No verve appears to thine eyes yet
Sole wanderer; hope thee not
Why walk into the midst of the indefinite
The sun burns down harshly
Contest it does anyone, submit
To its scathing merciless rays
Why do you amble about now?
Clad in a heavy black robe veiled
Exposed yet are her eyes, glassy
Her feet bare and calloused,
She fails not, yet aware of death lurking
Sharp shards do the sands seem
Of powdered glass, speckled allover
Abrazed feet slip fall and walk, merciless
Her mind ignores their silent screams
Miles on and on have gone on
Cruel relentless nature dear love
Hath not spared anyone
Neither the innocent nor the culpable
In search of a new world
In search of heaven did thee set out?
What heaven is but a distant land?
Out of reach until the end
Rapture in your eyes, so dazed
You so do stray from reality
Stumble upon nothing more
A ravaged earth, dead and impaired
Thirst burns her down the throat
An ache of a sort so unbearable
The heat drying every drop of water
In thy being lass, why dyou walk on
Hallucinating, she sees beyond the horizon
Beyond the flickering heat waves
Towers that seem of a magnificent city
Emerge magically, beckoning,
water from heaven blissfully does
Cascades in that heaven just a mile away
Her lips part as she walks through
The mirage of a ravaged heaven
Her mouth held open, her lips wait
So drops do moisten her chapped lips
Not one drop touches her face yet
Avoid it seems, no contact made yet
What from far seemed so splendid
In ruins does it stand for real?
Looted and foiled have the vandals
Cruel and unsparing gaze about their eyes
Take did they from this world
All its glory and might so unjustly
And selfish their souls became then
Care what but for a miserly girl astray?
A mirage stands here but is for real
The sun still bearing down upon thee
There are still miles to go before you sleep
A heaven lies elsewhere in wait
The sands that yield the castle wane
The mirage so sudden ebb away
The remnants of mighty destruction
Into oblivion do fade away
Travelled did you so far but for what
To see nothing appear before your eyes
Think not this but a sign from god
Heaven may look this way, tainted afterlife
God saw these plunderers at work
Destruction followed wherever they traversed
Stealing all that they, so unrightly
Spared are not the nude and the hungry
Enraged, furious, god destroyed the garden
A solace to the ones he’d so fondly created
Says who they be worthy of any good
For selfish they’ll forever be
A mighty heaven he vanquished
Within one grasp of his fist
A kingdom that would no longer exist
No place to go to, afterlife met by hell then
The wanderer looked up at the scrambled clouds
The orange bursts of skies raging
No queries, her eyes still blank and open
Waiting for a sign from Him, seeking answers
Now what becomes of me o lord
That to see this sight I bear torment
No longer shall we ever hope of a heaven
only for the sakes of the misdeeds of else?
Heaven still lies lives and deaths apart
Dear doth not dismay so soon
Beyond the mirage you saw a while away
Lies a cruel path to a bountiful heaven.
