A folly is someone's gain
I thought it ignored me
of reasons only better explained.

Ethnic enclave ruined under besiege
seldom an uncommon spectacle -
of all creed …. frenzied herds of sheep.

Normalcy was soon gone
envious of its zealous friend -
abnormality masters how to reign.

Only when I thought
who needed a shelter to brave -
rooted off my own feet – surrendered and dead.

Adi: If u remember u did tell me a lot though not as openely which I understood .... (And by this time u know that I am not a guy who makes or passes or judgement but can derive and deduce situations quiet well) So if not fully I perhaps do understand somewhat ... take care
