I was again idle today at class and i was singing LP's "What i've done".As usual,i thought of writing up some shit.As i was singing that particular song..i thought of our world just minutes away from destruction...our world all set to be destroyed by its creator itself.
There are a few lines which need explanation...and they are starred and explained later.
I came up with this write up..
We are living a dream,
that we haven't realised
our end is at hand
and crawling up our necks.
We forgot to count days,
yet we are freaking happily,
like this is our last day
and yet it is so!
War is at hand,
and dusk has fallen.
Still there's no sign of a resistance
but only the sound of music.*
For the species to come,
this will be remembered as the final battle,
the one between submissive humans
and the indestructible fate.
The time has grown dark,
as if Tolkien's Orcs are near.*
The blade has turned blue*
but we turn blind.
There's no smell of a fight,
no sight suggesting a dramatic end,
no sign of belief
for there's nothing to beleive.
The sun beats down
for one last time.
There's no hint of rain
for the world has dried up.
As the trees wither out,
the grass turns brown.
The shadows swallowed the ground
and Sauron's lightning strikes.*
The birds flee their last flight
even as the dogs bark to death.
There's chaos all around,
but the music keeps playing.
The ground burps and dances
as the cement begins to crack.
The music dies out,
and at last there's realisation.
Its panic and grief all over
followed by stampedes and sorrow.
There are cries of help,
which fall on deaf ears of none.
The world shrieks aloud,
and cries in pain.
The Earth beneath collapses
and we know not yet how deep our fall will be!
*but only the sound of music - there's so much happening all around..but we humans fail to take notice and go on with our daily activities.The music is bought in to point out that humans are enjoying their life.
*as if Tolkien's Orcs are near - Orcs are the soldiers of the Enemy Sauron in 'The lord of the rings' written by JRR.Tolkien.
*The blade has turned blue - The hero in 'The lord of the rings' carries a sword which glows blue when Orcs are near.
*and Sauron's lightning strikes - Sauron,as mentioned earlier,is the Enemy...and his lightning is artificial made of fire.A signal that he is powerful and at work.
