Ash

I was on the roof watching
All the lights fall silent
The way everyone had
When Pharoah's ropes
Had turned into snakes

Little did anyone know
How many lights would fall silent
A red cross stood mute glowing
As if in silent disapproval
As the Plague waited for a signal

They paint this land an Elephant
Through the numb disbelief of Fall
The leaves that fell in Summer
The melting ice of Russia
The elephant never forgets.

Written to "Door Hato Ae Duniyawalo", an anticolonial song from the Quit India movement, performed by Amirbai Karnataki and Khan Mastana and written by Anil Biswas and Kavi Pradeep, as well as "Bella Ciao", an Italian antifascist song. Anyone who mentions that Casa Papa Heist thing will be hunted down mercilessly.
