Reign of melancholy

When I heard ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Sabbath bloody Sabbath’ , I had decided that I would definitely scribble some morbid lines sometime in my life !!

The following lines battered my brain when I was travelling in a bus – it was dark,quiet,gloomy around me and that besieging struck some right chords…

The feeling of youth is unreal,
there’s a bloody ambush of gloom;
heap of wounds,no teach of heal,
for solace there’s no room;

Demon of ignorance residing within,
addiction of masochism on it’s wake;
a brutal cocoon that’s not thin,
stealthy and hard to break;

Innovation withering like a free-fall,
haunting is the evil of taciturn;
dither hitting life on a wall,
hell flames make the soul burn;

Piles of debacles have strangled hopes,
mind scaffolded by guilt and numb;
crutches of memories,a cling to old ropes,
some weird fantasies to succumb;

Faceless is a malediction,
crippling entire generation;
wrath of some dastards,God!
thrash them to perdition;

Embers of dying perseverance,
optimism flickers,though,rarely;
can these lone warriors ever,
subdue the reign of melancholy???
