Uprisings

Off late,

Silence is not an option,

But, Words

they are not enough too !

I stare with stunned emotions,

To erase,

What I want to be untrue.

Yet, I can't, No-one could.

And between silence and incapable words,

I stand holding a hope,

That silence will be broken

Not by Words, that won't be enough

Roads will be taken

And lights will glow

Many will walk or sit,

For What matters,

Slowly, gradually and perhaps

In a flash, will bend knees to claim

Black Lives Matter

And show to World,

It always has and it always will !
