A Beautiful Halt

I am disturbed. Restless mind.
When the peace will come to sleep
under the heat of bigotry?

You will find calligraphy
of pain. Beautiful in twilight after
the red drops come from white clouds.

Do you think white masks
help in, when you are forced to
see the dunes of black hawks?

A good poem presenting the current situaton of the society. Intolerence made us restless. Pain is made to appear beautiful that one may sacrifice life with expectations of heavenly benefits. Expressions like 'red drops' from 'white clouds' is a clear suggestion of violence that is being perpetrated. Ue of words' 'dunes', 'hawks' indidcate the precariousness of life todday.
