Martyr | Poem by Sandip Gyawali | Offline Thinker

-Sandip Gyawali 

Bullets—

Pierced my poor heart

Weaving like an arrow

Oh! Mother,

My life turned into death

Leaving tears, picture and sorrow.

Oh! Beloved,

Your red became white

Turning our ongoing wishes

My Children,

Our bed is now my pyre

Burning into nothing but Ashes.sa

Oh! Brother,

Our happiness paddled away

Aborning future forever apart

My Sister,

Sweet moments turned as memories

Mourning endlessly inside your heart.

Oh! Father,

You cremated your young

Confronting with immense agony

Oh! Motherland,

I, Commoner now turned sculpture

Carrying a cruel officer’s felony.
