The night is cold and dreadful
As I peacefully walk with my soul cares
Who quietly negotiate to have cool night’s rest
While I continue my cross-road task
Before I knew what’s happening
I was closer to death
Sinking in my thinking
Fighting to survive the dreadful pain
What a catastrophe that spelt me dooms of fear
To Quaker of all darkness
In the street of many lost souls
Down the quarter of a crystal street
I see shadows of dead souls
Walking in pursuit of fresh ones
Hoping to survive
My heart gives up the phantom
The screaming of grief and pain has begun
People fighting earnestly to survive
The sudden catastrophe
That had made my heart sore
What an unpleasant sorrow
They might have seen it before now
No joy comes easily without thousands of pains
Putting apogee of pathetic quagmire
Living from where we are now
Is enough reason to be in the land of death
As miserable sorrow has been
The horrors of the night dream
How long will this perpetual pain last?
As men, joy has been jettisoned with all cruel
As sassy trouble has taken over
The fighting to survive perpetuates
