A Sacrifice Poem by Satish Verma

A Sacrifice

Rating: 4.0


Your face becomes
an eye, a saga of
holding the assaults.

A body hails
the sagacity.

A child becomes a man
away from home
of truths, god forbids.

The innocence gives
rise to a mound of bones.
Death lingers to
take revenge.

Brutality breeds
brutality. Can anyone
break this cycle by giving
one's life after receiving the award?

I know you by the way you breathe. The oxygen ignites your organs, one by one, until finally your skin is ablaze. Every surface of you burns. You cannot be touched. You are consumed. Each flame a tongue that licks your being. Until your shoes are full of grey ashes.
