A Candle in the Shadow – Roy Bou Chakra (Grade 10B)

A Candle in the Shadow

Imagine a land made of death
And rivers made of cries
Where families left
With no chance in saying their goodbyes
Imagine a world of theft
A world filled with nothing but lies
Where everything is hidden, not knowing where anything lies

Imagine a world, not asking “what”, but multiple whys
Where the answer is never true
So we live a lie, until our demise.
Imagine a world that tore down skyscrapers
Just to see empty skies
Where dying isn’t a redo
But the one and only prize

Now imagine a world
Where birds and butterflies meet
Where everything bitter
Suddenly turns to sweet
Where every trick
Suddenly turns to treat
Where every broken chair
Is somehow a fixed seat
Imagine a world so peaceful
You can hear everyone’s heartbeat
Imagine a world made of a fixed puzzle
With nothing incomplete
Imagine a world with no war
No hatred, no heat
Though, we should just imagine
For our hopes, has a thin chance to meet
