Nights, days & Us

The nights were worse than days

And days were worse than nights

It all happened as everyone was in fights

Who was right and who was wrong

This was only all seasons song

It was a battle going since ages

And no one ever cared

As our soul was trapped in many cages

We had grown ourselves to suffer

Greed and violence all we could offer

Blood were shed on the road

Few surrendered to their fate

And few upped their rate

Many of us tried and many of us cried

But it was of no use as all were part of same boat

When it started and where we had reached

No one cared when our soul breached

For sure all along we lost our ways

As no one listened what others had to say

Everyone was right but who was to blame

That’s how this game was always played

Pain and sorrow were only winner

Tears and hunger were all we had for dinner

Cost was huge without any use

And we knew what was in our sight

Everyone was tired and broken

All it achieved was none

Everything lost and nothing survived

But it was never meant to arrived

It was not like all dark and doom

There was still a ray of hope

But it was like a distant moon

It was all along there

And nobody ever cared

The nights are worse than days

And days are worse than nights
We don’t know where we have arrived

And how long we will survive.
