A DAY AT WORK
Dedicated to all those souls that rose to meet an infinite sky
Always there for us to look upon, never to die.
By Shaan Akbar
Shocked eyes rose to meet an infinite sky
Eyes belonging to a mangled body mingling with debris
A body that this morning, traversed under the sea.
Resuming its daily grind, this body and pair of eyes,
Went up a crystalline tower that soared into the skies,
Toiled amongst heaps of paper and then sought rest.
Taking a break, this body and pair of eyes,
Peered out below to see bodies and eyes as small as flies
A steel bird produced a ball that consumed all with its ire.
Shocked eyes rose to meet an infinite sky
Eyes belonging to a mangled body mingling with debris
That lifeless body and pair of eyes--was me
