It was the year when millions died
And a girl woke out of love
It was when shells were broken
Souls roamed free
Bodies stuck to their cages
For what seemed like ages
People online played board games
A man broke his back
Scratching miles on earth
To and fro, a migrant and a labourer
Nothing more nor less
Perhaps a little less human
Sunrise dripped out of the sky
The youth shed tears
Mourning its days of freedom
Hearts beat as fast as
Fingers typed on screens
Reality had shifted its venue
And the old, they died
And I remembered the saying
Death is the death of the fear of death
But death is real as real can get.
It was the year we all broke anew
It was the year I fell for you.
