The sleepless Village(poem)



Introduction - Why is it that we encapsulate ourselves by feigning ignorance ? Is it to protect ourselves or just plain laziness ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lost within the woods deep,

came across ; a village that didn't sleep.

Cajoled the mothers; but the infants still weep,

Through the windows , as moonlight did seep;

from the crevices and keyholes ;

the grim reaper did patiently peep.

Deranged as deranged can be ,

in the country of brawn ,

Inept with solitude,

that made the blind see.

The minutiae of it , I failed to writ ;

most of it was perfunctory ,

Shrouded in dogmatic mist,

of a shrine – long debased.

The ambrosial banquet glittered ,

beneath the chandelier of the august sky ;

drenched soon it was ,

by the epoch of resurgence.
