My City, Gen-Next, Slammed

The darkness, the devil and the struggle

The path was dark but I third my way, My heart pumped, my legs trembled, and my body shaken, Nightmare stories I heard my friends and family say, How the dignity and respect of ours were taken.
By Muniram Prasad Sharma Pokhrel

The path was dark but I third my way,


My heart pumped, my legs trembled, and my body shaken,


Nightmare stories I heard my friends and family say,


How the dignity and respect of ours were taken.

Did Time magazine give Trump devil horns?


I continued my brisk walk with my face pale and the night grey,


Some shadows I saw at a distant, my heartbeat throttled quick,


And I tried to walk the best I could whom to say,


But the clumping footsteps were making me sick.


I prayed to be safe, my tears rolled down the cheek,


But I got lost in the dark woods not where I should,


Trying my best to find the path I seek,


Ran through the tall trees, green grasses, and a broken bridge without a miss.


 Across the stream opposite, I saw the shadows peek,


Lamenting the catch they miss, and far away


I lay on the soft grass with a little fantasy of bliss.
