Poem: Death of a Boy

Hello Hiver!! In this post, I am going to share a poem. Hope you'll like it!

Scorching noon, mouths were dry
Sitting in peace, people heard a cry

Ran to see, who it was
Chilling scream, that knew no pause

Climbed the wall and smashed the door
Saw a boy hanging, high above the floor

Eyes were pale, neck pitch-dark
Lips were dried, as rough as a bark

Wearied smile, that couldn't fake it more
All things proved, he had left the shore

Brother of a sister, son of two mothers
That little boy meant nothing to others

Sleeping on the pyre, ending life's games
Far away the boy, was burning in flames

Rites were done, people left at night
Mother kept waiting for her son's one sight

The same midnight, sky poured rain
It was a sign, boy had reached God's plain

Perched on my hand, then went deep in
It was my brother's tear that I sinked in

Raindrops told me how sad he felt
To see his sister, sobbing in regret

He knows well, how badly we cried
World thinks one, but four people died
