I have just 9 more months

I have just 9 more months

until the nadir is upturned.

Revolutionaries build their castles

on distant islands, hoofed

among the strong forces of

Oceanic lands, where mirages

mirror one another

until it’s just one huge labyrinth

and the eye cannot see the truth.

Wandering aimlessly, fighting a vain war

often we end up on shores

seeking shelter, we assume it

houses just one for comfort

while invisible hands slice the throat

silently by night, relentlessly!

Muffled cries. Moans. Sighs.

But that’s just it...

I have just 9 more months

until the nadir is upturned

else death will dawn on all of us.

*Just a scarred story of a common soldier
