The Assassination

by Sourav   Sep 16, 2009


Thoughts are haunted
Shrouded by black sheet
Of hard reality,
None of them are alive
But they move like zombies
They hurt me
Can harm you-
If you try to nurture them.
They are operated
Poison injected
Act as they are trained to -
Talk like drunk
And sleep in the core
Of the crippled brains;
So don't try to think beyond -
Do not remorse for loss of sense
They are dangerous
And there's a curfew in your head.
Don't expect anything to change
I'm not expecting you to change
You don't have courage to do that
Neither do I -
Like you, I stand alone
I don't dare to move -
Cautiously I breathe
I'm afraid; I hear the chaos -
And I lean
To see the decease that died
Long ago -
The death of mine.

    Life can be like that at times. The world can seem chaotic and without meaning. It's for us to make sense of it - if we can. well done Sourav. You've expressed what we all feel from time to time.

    It is somewhat on the dark side but sometimes that is life. Well done.
