The Kasual Kafe

Read the 1st word , then the 2nd word , consecutively throughout the poem.

It might itself appear
Time is not on our side
The message still unclear

Our Fear of Genocide
Of shadows and of death
Fill the voids with unrest

Finality its breath
Empty of common quests
Death reverts to shadow

Hiding that, can be seen
Inspires all that's hollow
Trading us in between

To follow light blindly
And believe in a cloud
Its will is unkindly

The hope shatters aloud
Not till our blood flows free
Will faith end misery

P.S - Count the syllables in each line --

Sonnet 138

When, my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor'd youth,
Unlearned in the world's false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young.
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue:
On both side thus is simple truth suppress'd:
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore says not I that I am old?
O! love's best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flatter'd be.
–William Shakespeare
