Strange Silence

Why is the city today in this strange silence?

How long will it's streets be able to bear the enduring violence?

The river flowing here has became more red than blue

When will the shore be found, who has the clue?

In whose name will you justify this corrupt act?

When such brutally is detestable in every revered sect.

Why is the fire of enmity still flowing in your veins?

Who knows, the blood stains would be washed after how many rains?
