A Broken Pride

A leap into death bed.
The water of life 
had sucked you dry.

Tracking a subtle sound,
I was chasing you
in the jungle of untruths.

You being in the crowd,
I was locating the god’s
vision in failing lights.

Who was hiding behind 
the torn pages of
scriptures ? The words

had started bleeding.
O, my god, the man was 
going to defile a beast !
