Shadows of Despair: Longing for an Angel's Light

Shadows of Despair



Words fail to express the weight of their woe,

The melancholy and tortures they undergo,

Oppressed and burdened, their faces so sweet,

But their hearts heavy, their pain complete.

My words falter in the face of such cruelty,

Oppressors, capitalists, and hooligans unruly,

Exploiting the weak, trampling on their rights,

Their actions withering hope, extinguishing lights.

Our words, mere lamentations for but a fleeting time,

We fail to fight their battles, we're guilty of the crime,

Their sorrow lingers, every sigh a reminder of their plight,

Yet we make light of their deaths, a callous blight.

Oh God, in our despair we call upon thee,

Send Imam Mehdi, for we are lost at sea,

Have mercy and aid the innocent and oppressed,

Send us an angel, or curse these oppressors, redressed!!!
