PACIFY


In ruins, our love lies

Like a madman in a refuse dump

Rejected and robed in rags, 

Our friendship frantically fades 

Like the flourishing flower that dies 

At the setting of the sun, 

We lay in shameful shadows and shades.


We're like metals exposed to moist air

For we gradually rust in despair 

In this damp loveless atmosphere

Moistened with pride and ego

Our love is subtly letting go.

When one kills the lamb of sacrifice 

And sets the spirit free to apologize 

The other stands by unforgiveness

Giving no chance for a rebirth

No chance for enakhore,

The friendship pitifully sees death.


Like morning cock, you crow crucify!

Away with him, let him be gone 

I like a bird chirp echoes of pacify!

He is somebody's son,

Invoke the spirit of compromise,

Save the soul the sorrow of separation.


We rid the child and the bath water

Refusing to bury the hatchet

Nor letting the sleeping dog lie

Shall a cut eternally mar the cord 

Or a stir forever soil the sea

Is there no room for a mending

The morning after the night 

The end of the tunnel light

Is there no room tagged second chance?
