The colorful universe,
Glibly dangling in the sky.
The luminous land of diamond-like dreams,
Where peacefully-chained folk flock fervently.
The land called ‘Happiness’,
With a giant lavish gateway never sealed,
Open for all with somber hearts,
Equipped with flowery smiles and gentle palms.
The land called ‘Happiness’,
Now blighted with inky clouds,
Suspended in chorus, injecting spitefully
The liquidating venom from unscrupulous hearts.
Charcoal tears doom the immaculate land,
From the lazy hours to the late exhausted ones.
Fear swims mercilessly among gentle souls,
The chains diffuse oppositely along stifling tracks.
Mystification runs deep,
Like in a war against callous ogres.
Forgotten is the sign deserted at the gate,
Now life on the land is lava-pervaded.
And battles against ‘Happiness’ and ‘Sadness’
Like everyday shows became,
With souls surrendering incessantly,
Fiends wiping away the happy hearts abundantly.
Yet among these diluted hordes,
Swathed in hope, a lone girl held on,
Innocently clung to fractured threads,
And beseeched for mercy with tearful trails.
She smiled wondrously towards the silky sky,
But her life was soon swallowed by the tactless time
And the little girl’s eyes muted, her soul muted,
Depriving her of a taste of ‘Happiness’ Land.
