ON THAT BLACK SUNDAY
WHEN
- The City Of Destiny Is Still
Dosing in its Sunday sleep
- The Steel City children are still
Flying in their colour filled dreams of week-end
- The Sun raising lazily over the Dolphin’s nose still
Un-decided on his attacking strategy
- The winged soldiers are in their nests, still
Stretching their wings for crusading over the green city.
THEN CAME THE BIG BANG -
- That awoke the city aghast
And alas! Gave permanent sleep to scores;
- That shattered the line between
Dream and reality;
- That made Sun hide its face behind the
Columns of smoke and roaring fire balls;
- That made the high-fliers squat on the burnt logs
Once their sweet homes.
WHOM TO BLAME? THE LORD OR THE MAN?

Yup...no artwork lol. I would really like the see the artwork especially when the poem is excellent. Personally...I believe man is responsible for his own actions, although I also dont believe in god so maybe that's why
I really love the poem but I cant judge this if I dont have the artwork. IM me when you have it.
