DIGNIFIED DEATH

Dedicated to people who have lost their lives in the
terror attacks across the world over all these years

Why should I die before time?

I did ask for a quiet place
I did demand for peace of mind
I loved to be left alone
Didn’t I deserve a dignified death?

I never favored any caste
I was not a part of any procession
I detested people getting slaughtered in the name of religion
So where did I go wrong?
Didn’t I deserve a dignified death?

I did complain about world not being a good place to live in
I did mention that life is not a fair game
I cried when things didn’t go the way i wanted them to
I wanted to run away and hide myself in a cocoon
But when did I say I want to say good bye
So why was I chosen to be killed by them?
Didn’t I deserve a dignified death??

calling it a great piece, which it is, would defy the very purpose of it being written...
