Held Hostage****

by Mustardhart   Mar 4, 2005


This happened to me some two days back and has been under the trauma of a vicious experience. Time alone i believe can heal and help me go over it.
Tell me what you think.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Coming to the gate of my house
Lurking in the dark was evil
Stepping into my house
Only to be surrendered by the gun

Told to lie face down
By an intruder who hasn't feelings
Only interested in death or stealing
They promised me my life like they own it

Promise to take my life like its nothing at all
Like a movie in the telling
The difference, this being reality
I shuddered from inside out

The gun followed me to my head
Like a living soul led me back to my feet
Walked me to my room, demanding silver and gold
Demanding what only blacksmiths have

Told them i hadn't any only money
They took a months wage and my lovely handset
Made away with my pride as a man
And gave me humiliation in place

I was used as a bait to get to my neighbors
All along my whole life flash before me
And in a twinkle, nothing seemed important
And my captors with reckless abandon reveled

They fancied their trade,
Enjoyed the fear in my eyes
They truly were full of excitement and ill
And for the first time unquenchable hate rose within me

This life, this life!!!
May be some day i will re tell it well
But now, all that is reality to my thinking
Is I was held hostage by goons.
While i was in no mood for sadness.
