THE STORY OF MY VILLAGE
With Acoustic sounds of the beat, we ushered in an era
Utmost joy filled the air, every streets laced with garlands
Fields were besieged, Corners were made open
Tidings of the new king’s arrival ran the ears
A new verse was opened; Songs of victory blasted the arena
A time we longed for, the villain had fallen
Quiet heavy thoughts filled his mind
The battle has being won, yet the conquest has just began
Awaiting his blessings, Folks swamped his villa
Smiles and laughter running their wild faces of greed,
Every man had a price; the crave for riches swam their hearts
Seemed lost in his thoughts, alone in this foreseen conquest
A question rammed his thoughts
How do you steer a lost boat, in the deep blue sea of sharks?
Forlorn moments of victory suddenly faded
Foretold Tidings gradually disappeared
With disgust and awe, vain loomed
With weariness and hunger the masses wailed
To be or not be, they needed a switch
Streams of fading hope stung the air
Rain dithered, storm withered
Hopes of the rising sun lurked in the shadows
Shadows of blank memories, with yearnings of wild thoughts
Like a dream come true, the foretelling came alive
A new phase gradually emerged, like light on a pathway
Suddenly laughter winked sad faces, bread became stable
Awaiting his eternal blessings, the king is thrilled
O yes! The dream was true, now we can reign.
