Silent Scream Poem by Vivek Tiwari

Silent Scream

Rating: 5.0


I though, inclined
To have a record, but nothing serious.
My friends agreed.
As our machine displayed
On its mysterious screen
Two and twenty weeks of unborn life
Playful in the safest chamber
(Though the keeper played unsafe) .
All so well-
Beats normal,
Good health of cheer,
Mouthed thumb beautifully seen
As our machine displayed
On its mysterious screen.

But as the deathly instrument
Touched the walls of safest chamber
-Like the Death that burglars the Life-
And the cheer turned to fear.
Beats felt increased,
Unthumbed mouth
But still opened
And we listened some Silent Scream
As our machine displayed
On its mysterious screen.

She presumed
As her heart-I think-did tell
There some fatal attack she felt
At the doors of safest chamber.
So it did.....
Her fright lifted to heights,
Her heartbeat over-increased
We could listen louder the Silent Scream
As our machine displayed
On its mysterious screen.

The fatal tool played then deathly
Chopping the limbs as salad pieces
Legs, hands and body frame.....
But the Devil stopped not yet
Though the heights of the scream turned fainting
As the Death reached her head...
Smashing it into nothingness
(As some small loaves of mud
As a lifeless thing did end)
In to pieces, countless parts
To pass through the suction-tube.
The thing was then thrown to garbage
And then all Silence of Silent Scream.
Our machine then displayed Nothing
On its mysterious screen.
