Someone To Care

mossy vines served as camourflage on a decaying gravestone, in old graveyard, time not revealed the names on that stone, was this the one for which I had been searching hard. been looking back in history at my family tree some I have found, was a pleasure to see names of old folks that imaged me, I am what I am, because of history. this one dirty and unkempt, hidden away, seemed no one cared, two names are gouged out of the stone as though their life they hadn’t shared.....yet someone had cared when their life was done. what crime had they committed to be left alone, had they gone against family rights and wrongs looking up the names in history, it is shown falling in love, to each other belonged a hindu and a muslim so much in love they married yet had to hide this fact, shamed, their family no longer proud of, died together in a suicidal act. no one to care for their blessed names on this gravestone, covered in vine, who are the guilty ones who bares this blame, caring in future for this plot, will be mine.
