Beyond the sight

The eyes that sees it all - 

Of the anguish behind every molded face,

the pain behind every smiles,

broken hearts hovering upon the face of the waters,

young lost souls spreading,standing in unition of the only hope of an elegy. 

The eyes that sees it all - 

Of the dripping blood, unseen,yet foreseen to be drained,

Of the polluted fountain drawn from the source of darkness,

Of the walking dead paying visits to their lovers,

Of the sucklings tasting bitterness from the bosom of their mothers. 

But how beautiful the trimmed flowers appears in the garden,

How lovely the attractive maidens sway their hips on the street,

How colourful the day looks each day,

How confusing is the normality of everydays' activities. 

These eyes that saw it all,

has been plucked out 

casted down the pit where the truth is forbidden.
