An Ugly Death

A deserted old lady,
A whimpering woman,
Underlying the society’s cruel tree,
Uncared and unwatched,
Covered with cold blanket,
Pointed grains of sand jabbing her,
A ripped saree and tattered blouse on,
Underneath a battered body and shattered heart,
Powerless to purge of the flies and insects on her flesh,
Lizard picking its choice of feast from relaxing ticks,
Raptors’ beaks piercing the skin, reaching the veins,
A loveless life,
An abandoned soul,
A dying destitute,
Crying deeply within,
No one came to rescue her, So,
The Lord emancipated her from unkind social relations.
