Civilisation
Hello, It's been long ๐, I've been busy with exams and I have a lot of things to do. The pages kept tearing and the words erasing, The legacies of our fathers up in blazes, Sacred knowledge and teachings no longer existing, The consequences of our actions affecting us in phases. Like a painter repainting… Continue reading Civilisation

Seated on a mountain's peak A pleasant sight lies in front of me The beauty of this vast world Shall remain in my memory The images the clouds form in my headAnd the building which look like tiny pieces from above. But peering a little bit deeper, I see the emptiness of this worldThe higher… Continue reading POETRY
