curfew

A curfew night
huddled in muffled silences
screaming bodies of pain.

A stone's throw away
a life barbed for life
lies a prison that I didn't make 

I never asked for it
it was not mine
thrust upon my forehead
like a brutal bane.

then there were those
who also did not ask to leave
but had to
driving down to the plains
running scared
with a single suitcase
that contained all their life...
tragedies all...
