Wolves down Below

What is it about a great man’s fall…
Which we eagerly wait for?
A descent into madness to appal,
Which we encore.
Tears of the brave,
Who lose heart and waver.
Blood that boiled as it slaved
For those who plead for a saviour.

Are we just beasts?
Untamed and forever starved.
Can we not shed a tear at least,
For those heroes who have halved.
A silent pain as we empathise,
Will it not suffice?
All they need is a pillar of any size.
Something to embrace as they sacrifice.



Poem By Sanjeev 'Cimeries' Retnasingam
