a moment stood still when,

the hubble bubble was devoid of embers

the intoxicating chamber was singing a lullaby

i did not know

whether to sing

the song you had recited
when we were walking step in step in the garden far away

or remember those

who had died

in vain

is death ever in vain?

why did not we care

all the years when they dared the bullets

of those who had lost the way,

at least that is what some say
