Unsullied hearts, eager eyes <br />Suave life with no grumble <br />Heaving with compassion <br />There was so much comradeship <br />What more could one ask for? <br /> <br />But they were ignorant of the imminent debacle <br />Could one flee from the clutch of serendipity? <br />A vicious spell had been cast <br />An atrocious web had been weaved <br />They were the bait in this sadistic plan <br /> <br />Today the land lies barren <br />Soaked with fresh blood <br />Devoid of life forms <br />The ghost lies sleeping beneath <br />Howling and weeping during the night <br /> <br />The air still smells of death <br />The gust recites the sad tale <br />They implore for justice <br />They urge for peace <br />They want to rest now, they can witness no more.....<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/clutch-of-serendipity/
