I lay there,
The Clock ticking, My blood dripping,
Blue ink from my hands has dried now,
But, My blood profusely flows.
I lay there,
My tiny hands holding the Pen,
I wanted to champion the World.
Why was I punished, Why was I slained?
I was a happy Child yet to discover the World.
Hear You! Only my Creator has the right on Me,
Who are You to take away my life?
Doesn't my innocent Eyes stir Your Soul?
Has Your Heart turned that cold?!
How, I, desired to see happy tears in My Mother's eyes,
To be the reason of her Pride,
But, now I witness a tormenyed Sea,
My Mother bewailing, ' O, My Child. My Child. Please, don't leave, don't leave me!
You were the soothing of My Heart, the light of My Eyes,
Don't abandon me in Darkness!'
There goes my Father, carrying me in shroud,
Covered with stains of blood, holding up his valour.
But, While laying me in the grave he weeps copiously!
'Dad, how I wished to walk with You, Shoulder to Shoulder,
Ease all Your burdens, erase all Your Worries;
Seeing, You and Mum happy was my Ultimate Dream!
Now, it's just a dream. Just dream.
Sorry, for the abrupt Goodbye,
Sorry, for the unfulfilled dreams.'
O, Man! Why do you kill me?
I'm just an innocent Soul!
You bring down my house into rubbles,
I play and live my Chilhood in the crumbles.
Even then, you take away my life mercilessly,
Labelling it as War, Revenge and Retribution.
Human become Humane,
Stop, victimizing me in your selfish ploy!
I'm a Flower yet to blossom;
Why do you crush me into Crimson red?
I'm just an innocent Soul,
I know no evil in the World.
I'm the Love that brings Joy & Hope,
Don't make this Earth a hopeless World.
Let me live and be the future of a Beautiful World!
O Man don't kill me,
I'm just an innocent Soul.
I lay there,
And, the Clock stopped with Me.

August 1, 2015 - 15:29 Great read but I believe you need to take time to check your work. Nothing major really. Just some misspelled words here and there. Other than that, this is a solid piece!Nightingale
August 4, 2015 - 17:11 Is that so? I noticed tormented mispelled after publishing the poem. Spell check error, I tell you * cringe*. Do let me know where else i have faltered. Thanks for the up vote! :)sheelsdevi
August 1, 2015 - 16:13 The poem was indeed soulful. But that is not the point here .the fear factor is missing.you cant live endlessly in fear about a murder that occurred. It is over.But the main part is missing .Nightingale
August 4, 2015 - 17:06 I comprehend to what you are saying, sheelsdevi. But here i have used fear in a collective sense in a symbolic way of the whole of Humanity. And, I think this fear shall persist as long as violence and injustice prevails! Much thanks for up vote. :)nupur27
