A New Dawn Poem by Afzal Shauq

A New Dawn

Rating: 4.5


In years of cruelty past
there came a new dawn
the bright light burned
melting frozen hearts.

Come New Dawn...
break forth a bright new day.
Oh sun come...
part the long dark hair of night.

The time has come...
The need for a new justice
Freedom from all these
demi gods of money.

Sun burn away...
Melt these gods
and their ice palaces
Leave nothing behind
But God's judgement.
