A Vs A Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

A vs A

The death flickers with a few leaves of life;
And the life struggles with many
Flickering thorns of death
All scarecrows are made alive
By my death and life
By your life and death.

They dragged and brought me
Before the judge.
‘My Lord, what I say is truth
And nothing but truth ‘
‘Are you guilty of being rejoiced
and the killing of our soldiers? "

They dragged and brought him
Before the judge.
‘My Lord, what I say is truth
And nothing but truth ‘
‘Are you guilty of being rejoiced
and the killing of our freedom fighters? "

I took to my heels
He took to his heels
The death flickers with a few leaves of life;
The life struggles with many
Flickering thorns of death.
