Untold Story of Lost Souls

By Angelle Baligod

---

In this dark, suffocating place of lies

you hear nothing

but cries,

why’s,

and whimpers in disguise.

I searched for solace, amidst

the abandoned comfort.

Here I indulge in this nightmare,

Reminiscing

about the last few days

of my dreams.

The chaotic silence

was broken by a scream,

As I follow the sound of pleas,

an old maiden was kneeling before me,

wailing and mourning as she demands,

she speaks of justice,

peace and justice!

“An innocent young lad,

Strolling the silent streets of darkness,

Brutally killed in suspicion, ignorance”

I sighed as I stared at his tombstone,

Looking for his lost soul.

I whispered secrets nobody can hear.

Death was brought upon us,

By those who vowed for life.

We live in a place where the devil is king,

No chance of pity can be seen.

So, how can death be our peace?

If the reason for our death,

Is suffering in paradise?
