The Dark Side

July 7, 2020

The Dark Side

There were stars twinkling in the dark sky,
Each struggling to shine and waiting for hours to pass by.

They were far from the Earth but still could be seen.
The mystery yet to be solved was about the identification of their KING and QUEEN.

They loved to shine and indeed they did,
But behind their love was something they hid.

What was the cause of their trouble?
An answer yet to be found,
The language they spoke had no sound.

The sky was their stage,
And they competed to win.

The stage turned out to be a cage,
An internal world of sin.

The other so called world remained unaware of this life,
A life where one was killed for the other to survive.
