Freezing Flames

As I alighted the coughing train And glanced at the hapless creature Those same sorrowful eyes met with mine But this time it couldn't move my heart

Once I'd seen tears meandering on his dusty face his deep eye pits and emancipated arms grieved my soul By relieving the purse of its burden I tried to relieve my heavy heart

But the piling burden crushed my heart As the tracks unravelled ghastly scenes Travelling in the comfort of the cushioned seat Fellow beings I saw, with bulging bones for a seat

Sometimes it was an arm, sometimes a leg or Sometimes it was just a cornea Suddenly I was aware of the luxuries pampering me The luxurious of sleep, walk, sight.

An unknown agony gripped my soul and I tried to find solace in the tiny alms spent. I tossed in my berth trying to sleep Knowing not that my destination was hell

The flames which swallowed the coach kept craving for more and found fuels of fission in the hearts enriched with hatred

The wild blade breached the sanctity of the womb killed the child before the mother; The satanic testicles spewed venom and made sure the ashes were not virgin

To make sure my shirt wouldnt be stained red I had to stain my forehead red The explosions turned me blind and the cries deafened my ears

With time froze my pathetic heart and the pain crystallized to an unknown emotion No cry could pierce it then No sight could melt it down

I befriended the dirty devils And accepted their protection The shutter speed found harmony with the brutal swiftness of the trident

While the train was heading to my homeland And as I turned my face away from the pleading hands I pictured myself receiving the award For the snap of the grave, begging eyes

Now as I glance at the same sorrowful eyes I find my hands waving freely in the air With no intention of reaching the purse And my legs carrying me away
