..Written In Blood.. Poem by samyak jain

(He fell in love, married a girl of a different religion and the paid the ultimate price with his life.)

at the age of
thirty one,
it was most likely
not the rush of blood
that made him
choose the path
between
the devil
and
the deep sea.

she says,
he was a child
of
pure emotion
for his lady love,
a love
where nothing else,
least of all
faith and religion
mattered.

he chose
the path,
he knew,
could be
short and bloody,

money, influence,
muscle, politics,
society,
brook
no role for hearts,

it is a cruel, cruel world.
