Beliefs – Being Abused

The crispness has reached its threshold

Its flaking, flaking into pieces, breaking

They are doing their bit,

Serving their beliefs

Engineers in the dark, they are the masters,

taking lives by the breath..

Fanaticized in their belief,

that’s what he wants, they say…

For us to die, in their belief he initiates…

they execute, seldom fail as we mourn…

Tears are flowing, flooding hearts,

as these eyes wake up to news,

news reddened by the blood being shed..

Who is he? Never been seen by you or me,

but believed to be sitting behind those wheels,

Wheels steering those beliefs….

taking them for a spin, abusing their beliefs,

Overheating lives and burning dreams….

Beliefs have taken a toll, toll on us

So today, We step out the door,

step out with the fear,

fear that we might not return,

fear that we might not step back in.
