Revolution Of Darkness Poem by Afzal Shauq

At last...
as the sun disappeared
behind the mountains,
The ghosts
with fast winds
and horrible noise
brought the darkness
to our village.

The candles
of each house
blew out...
lightening streaked the sky
No one left their home
Nor closed their eyes in sleep.

The whole night
was a celebration.
The ghosts were joyous...
The revolution of darkness
Had begun...
