Above Our Plights
The drums sounded
Our hearts banged
After numerous palpitations
Our forecast rose in elations
Amiably, not to hold captive
But to surrender
The guilts of our slumber
Traits troded & songs sang
And unfinished tactics
That derailed in a bang
Missions neglected with fright
Steered not within our might
'Cause of the lapses in our fight
Had blinded our eyes with blight
Yet we held on to foresight
We peeped to the epoch of the past
As the noxious trend rendered a must
Our bows & arrows laid in contact
Screamed frantically for impact
The claws & shields were to axe
And our mirage had to be asked
Of the bridges conceived
The successes perceived
Amid the ultimatum received
Of which we stood esteemed
With our pleas teamed
We prayed in hay
And worked, not in May
'Cause of the pay
Upon the day
Next to our persistent say
That arraigned, not in astray
Then, we conquered our fates
And suddenly damned our spates
Upon the gate
Amidst toils in the feared dates
We stood in Eureka's albeits' gaze
With our faces amazed
Just right above our plights!
