We see each other in plight, <br />In towns our scare is a clamour of distress, <br />They have to stay awake to avoid the city <br />Of shards and pikes, of bricks and mortar. <br /> <br />Fire is seen where a ghost has travelled by the Sun, <br />Their overtaking us is like that of a star in the cosmos - <br />It lives too punished and hot, so hard and fast with speed. <br />Fire is seen in the cosmos. <br /> <br />Ghosts are like ghouls in the lair of our Hell, <br />Where the Sun is no longer a star to judge, <br />When effort has been arranged of late, <br />To strike the heads of the fuel, the fuel of the town of distress.<br /><br />Naveed Akram<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-plight/
