Rajashree’s poem explores the destructive pursuit of power, leaving a trail of sorrow and despair, exclusively for Different Truths.
Ambition and power have their own stories
Unlike the story of the unknown savage wind
The smoke, invading the sky
Has wiped away the smile from the innocent lives.
The sound of the laughter
Drags them to the burial ground, where
Cries for a life is rampant.
Love is now a midday dream.
As the streets with the moonlight
Steal the darkness of midnight.
