Empty Chains

Empty Chains
Empty as the sun
Sun that shines bright as the moon
Moon wading across the streets
The streets filled with muck
Muck covered with musky dust
Dust as a black coal
Coal in the darkest nights of the slums of India
India: a land known as the golden bird
Golden Bird shining across the sky
The sky as blue as the sea
Sea shining across the mountains
