SIREN

 




SIREN

 

Remind incident childhood memory,

Thatched houses village sight worry,

Looked at the road late at night sacred,

Sky was lighted fire, cottage charred, (1)

 

The wind was blowing, the fire spread faster,

Noise, outcry, helpless, time matter,

Siren blaring from a distant get near,

Hour of horrible efforts doused clear, (2)

 

Imprinted in memory, scary pictures,

Siren later in life perspire limbs tears,

Dead of the night, the metropolis lighted,

Invisible siren blared charred sighted, (3)

 

Hail indomitable spirits, fireman fight,

The red truck bell ringing gives fright,

Siren, learned in life, people give ways,

Violate traffic light speeding displays, (4)

 

Honor bystanders and traffic, clear the road,

Siren involves silent prayer gift afford,

Charred homes death wounded bitter,

Siren those moments hopefully usher, (5)

 

Alas, the noise was not like a thorn, graceful,

Indicates disaster is near, lives hopeful,

Invasion, sudden invasion surprising,

Illuminated sky Diwali night blaring, (6)

 

Not crackers in the sky, missiles, hellfire,

Blaring sirens in cities, burning scares,

Innocent people, sweet home, depressed,

Kidnaper glider with arm accessed, (7)

 

Alarm bells louder, inform people, hell,

Death is near, save lives escape detail,

Childhood pictures, relevant, glaring,

Modern life terrorism cruelty sparing, (viii)

 

No human compassion, tolerance to live,

Wait, belief in killing people, hate thrives,

Every night, the siren is louder, indicating well,

The world is not peaceful, inferno to swell, (9)

 

Moving to the temple, pay solemnly lit,

Oiled lamp, scented stick, lighted sight,

Pray for dead, wounded men, women,

Pray for killed children times ill omen, (10)

 

Siren live in my heart clearly distinct,

The world is burning, not villages hint,

Purposeful humans bombard caution,

The class of races, religion, civilization, (11)

 

Let not the siren only inform plights,

Human wisdom siren message lights,

I dream, the siren informs holocaust,

One world, one family, one future, to dust, (12)

 

Let the human race learn the consequences,

The siren screams in every life sequence,

What do you want humans to live, borrow,

To live in peace is essential, hope tomorrow, (13)

 

Siren warns, indicate fire, charred lives,

Fail fireman to douse flames survive,

They are peaceful doves brave to save,

Siren, noisy, loudly lead destiny is grave. (14)
