SILENT DRUMS



What is left to gain
When all I feel is pain
What is left to show
When all has fallen like snow

Hmmn! Freedom I ask for those who had left,
No! I am never in the state of deft.
Everything will surely go one day,
So I accept this with a graceful say.

Death they say takes away all the good things
that matter in time and being.
Death is a reality which one finds difficult to embrace,
But do not fear death as it's inevitable.

I cry out today
and say,
What is left to gain
When all I feel is pain?
Today may be the end of the sweet songs,
Cos the drums are silent.
But a start of another life is assured.

Sleep sound always
God ways was written as God's ways.
Yes! shed those tears away,
for the tears we share today
shall be no more.
