A minute after...

an occurrence that jumped my head

 

Mayhem filled the air, all of a sudden

The boom boom blew the blossom night

Configuration of sorrowful onomatopoeia 

A signal of panic stirred the mild wind

 

Dwellers fell out from all directions

Wearing long and grimaced faces

Summoning a convergence in a blink

A tragedy has significantly befallen

 

A tragedy manned by an auto truck crash

14 tires, all face to face with the starry sky

Crushing all human measures of peace

And reaping their souls out of their body

 

A cloud of tears fashioned in my eyes

Evaporation from a hideous scene, where

One of the only two survivals is dumb

The other’s legs are broken anyhow

 

Beautiful mother with her toddler son

Mai suya coupled with his teenage customer

A motorcyclist with his aggressive passenger

All instantly answered the glorious call

 

The darken in my eyes now ruptured

Half for the ill-fated souls lost

Half for the bereaved spectators

For myself, I nodded my head incongruously

 

Rainbow of causes to croon hallelujah

Recalled on me like thunderous lightning

For the entire untoward scene was shot

A minute after I left the very location

Author's Note

mai suya is someone that sells roasted meat

An awesome read! and I've had similar experiences.
This was well-written and very scenic,
and I thank you for sharing it

'Rainbow of causes to croon hallelujah ~ Recalled on me like thunderous lightning ~ For the entire untoward scene was shot ~ A minute after I left the very location'

That final line puts another complexion on the writing.. needs thought.

An extraordinary scene set down by fine writing.. you've really used strong description here, perhaps language a little pedantic but then, using words of more than five letters is exceptional these days. Reading a second time I realise this poem is made up of cameos tightly fixed in the bloodiest setting ..
