What cannot be borne is borne
What cannot be spoken is spoken
When we can no longer mourn
Then more than just hearts are broken
Despair is no longer despair
No fire no ice , all long gone
The chill of a vacant stare
The red of a cheerless dawn
How odd the desire to live !
How strange the compulsion to lie !
How absurd that nothing will give !
How obscene that there’s still a sky !
How true that we learn to forget !
How hard that we’re dead ere we die!
How many millenniums regret
The moment we forgot to cry !

An excellent poem in rhyme that underlines our lack of sensitivity and compassion to tragic events around us.
Thank you for your appreciation, Vijay Nair .
