The War within


After death,
veins open into
concrete roads.

kill the dead
with an army
What a war!

Red and green
Saffron and white
The colours of death.

A tongue slain
twitching on the ground
Crime? - speaking.

A wailing child
hiding in the bosom
of dead mother.

S, this is just amazing and painful...you know the latest post in the blog, the Tamizh poem I was meaning to post it in my personal blog but I posted it here by mistake but then look what I find, you have revived the blog! I will let the tamil poem remain although it is in stark contrast to this post but well contradictions are natural I guess..(unless you want me to take it off) good job!
