An anger lying flat On the cutting board Grabbles its fin in the air With the vile eyes Lost their focus. The tip that once had been A shining guidance Through the cold, blinding sea, Now sags its pillar Lower than its own misery. Man’s blade sharply stabs Its belly- Halving the grand bottom Before the pain even surfaces. Through the fish’s fissure, Its orange, glowing guts Slip out- The liver, the heart, the kidneys- A avalanche of what used to be Remnant of life. Then the maw. Once a ruler of Coarse sandy bed Gabbling the dot lives, Now chopped As chunks of flesh. ‘Ah- this is it. Served as a mere food For men to eat, This is where my Kingdom comes to end. Those empty halls I stride through Now only a Glimpse of memory- I close my eyes.’

Retrospect
When the trees had fallen By the hands of men, No one was was there to mourn. When the naked patches of hill Covered the blue mountains And tall towered trees powerlessly fell, No one stopped to mourn. Upon the terrorised trees Hovered the mother mist. She snuggled them tight and whispered: “Do not look, my children. Nothing will happen. Tomorrow, everything is going to be okay.” Her divine wrath wreathed up to the ash sky And afar- Afar it went.

When The Trees Had Fallen
Love is a curse- Two that Did not know Each other For their whole life, Meet Each other As if they have known Each other For their whole life, And Spend Their whole life Unable to forget Each other.

Timothy
Painfully golden sun Runs over the dark brown pasture Of tranquil summer. Enlarged double sevens on its waist And brimming black waves Striding ahead of me. What follows after is, Deadly disfigured disgusting dust. Grains as sharp as broken glass Shatter and splash, Ripping and untangling every little vein As they revolve inside my two eyes. For once I- I wanted to run on the same line. But being one's mere wish it is, The scar from yesterday Edges its piercing blade against my mane, Pilling every inch of my skin, Delivering its pain Across the entire system. Audience screams as he reaches the white belt. He was just- just born like that- Effortless and fortunate. Yet he snorts as if he owns the world. Behind him, My frayed crimson hooves howl in the shadow. Once again- I'm on the starting line, Spurting towards the unseen finishing point Of a never-ending race.
