Shadows...!!!

They hate it when it's bright
In fact they just hate light
They just hide behind our height
They were never seen white
coz they never take it 'light'.
Reason simple, it ruins their might.

Thought they might like night,
but they are paradoxical, still out of sight.

Nights are just a greater part of them (we knew it)
Like roots of the tree and the stem.(they didn't know)

We thought they are happy to be small,
coz the greater part kills them all.

Now the night looks to be a scary tale,
but the shadows aren't even a fairy tale.

Every night makes them fall,
Sun comes and lifts them all
We thought even with the sun they had a brawl
An enemy giving a wake up call..??!!
Shamefully behind or ahead us they just crawl.

What they like is our presence,
coz it's the damn reason of their existence.
Even though in the night they don't care,
all the day long they want us to be there.
Doesn't that sound little unfair..?!

It seems their enmity is not with the light.
They want to end the monopoly of the night.
They want to start a fight,
but competition is pretty tight.

Thats the reason......

They rehearse everyday with us and the light,
thinking themselves to be right.
They want 'us' to block sun's sight.
They want to be big shadows but not night.!!!

Their dream under the sun is just a gas filled balloon,
coz they want 'us' to compete with the moon,
they are not letting us run,
in a false hope that we could resist the raging sun.

Consider we block the sun by full girth,
They never know that they'll take rebirth,
not as shadows, but as mighty nights on the earth.!!

Stem can't kill the root,
we can't just aim at the moon and shoot !!!!
