Burial

Neanderthals and
Torajas 
Buried the dead
With no cost...
Within
Cave-like holes
The dead did easily 
Exhaust…
=====
===
Lying posture 
Or standing
To a corpse
Does this matter...?
Does the dead know
Whether their souls fly
In airplane or
Helicopter…?
=====
===
Like Shahjahan 
And Taj Mahal
Egyptian  Monarchs
Built  Pyramids 
Tax of the poor
And their labour 
Were flown like river
Monarchs, yet, are never culprits…!
=====
===
Whether kings die
Or queens
Doesn't the burden go
On common-man...?
History always isn't
Cradle and swing
As we  proclaim 
As romantically as we can...!

You give the reader much to ponder with this interesting poem... Well done! Christuraj Alex October 6, 2022 at 8:01 PM Thank you very much for your comment and encouragement.
