Allegation of the Moon

 

You ruined all,  social media

Our souls, our soils, our songs-

You messed up everything

Our origins, our roots, our golden stories-

You blemished all these

So many allegations against you

The moon said you are the main disgrace

to taint her elegant face

So no evening star is mesmerized with her rise

Oceans said you robbed all octopuses’ brains

So they forgot life lane

The wind said you polluted her air

So clouds forgot how to shed tears

Dust said you dirtied her dust

So there is a new generation lust

kingfishers said you corrupted her music

So nobody travels in the inner street

Rainbows said you damaged her reputation

So for sunlight, there is no longer any fixation

Tell me where do I keep all these accusations?

Tell me, O social media!

From all these allegations-

Where is our liberation?

Butterflies said we’re now on the verge of a great erosion

Help this civilization from this degeneration

Lift your inner gate before we are late

You need to hurry up before things turn into wild and rough

 

-Somoy Shafi
