Fantasies

fantasies mushrooming in shell-shocked minds 
suspended underground by power play in the skies
it’s the only way to escape doom, to plant hope
in a child fingering canned food
thinking of tomorrow in an alien land
and come back the day after
under a clear blue sky

events push different buttons in different people
-immortalizing it in art
prevents dissipation of lessons learnt
like a virus that comes and goes, mutates into insouciance 

history buried in eagerness to resume normalcy
awareness throbbing underground 
sprouts new forms of art and science 
to weave a fabric of continuity
appliqued with forgotten stories
