Broken Peace

An alarm was set off
just around half past noon
where my lunch is still
down down my digestive tract
and vividly i could recall
it as a much hefty meal.

The compound was empty
save for a few of us
who has to spend the day here
envying at those are absent.
We ain't alone, accompanied by feelings
of restlessness we can't shake off.

It was a dismay to many,
when the silence drifting around
made for a run
as the siren went crying
on and on, on and on,
no stopping.

Discomforting it was
then a conclusion came.
We've lost the peaceful afternoon
we grew so familiar with.
A thought came asking
'Where are we having it back?'

We waited and waited,
pray it'll not be in vain
all till the siren went dead
perhaps tired out from crying
or someone has just
given it the boot.
