Manoke is in deep thoughts ....
'In shadows deep, where hope once gleamed,
A storm now brews, where dreams have streamed.
The banner high, the struggle fierce,
Now torn apart by greed’s coarse pierce.
A leader once with courage vast,
Now cloaked in whispers of the past.
Betrayal’s sting, a silent wail,
Echoes through this darkened vale.
Is this the end, where futures fade?
Where visions pure are now betrayed?
The fire dimmed by whispered lies,
Reflected in disheartened eyes.
Why does this sorrow weigh so deep?
In quiet nights, I wake and weep.
For promises that turned to dust,
For broken bonds, for shattered trust.
The path ahead is lost in mist,
Where once we walked, where dreams persist.
Now questioning, where hearts once bold,
In search of truth, in tales retold.
Is there a dawn beyond this night?
A rising sun, a guiding light?
In anguish, still, my heart does yearn,
For justice true, for tides to turn" 20.6.2024
