When Did The Lights Go Off? Poem by Shrutika Nagpal

When did it all go dark?
The lights left no mark
On the tree or it's bark
When did the lights go off?

When did the atmosphere stop living?
When did God stop giving?
When did sorrow stop winging?
When did the lights go off?

When did the angel leave me alone?
Why did she leave me to moan?
And in pain to groan?
When did the lights go off?

When did pleasure fly away?
When did Night replace Day?
What made even Atheists pray?
When did the lights go off?
