Strangled Dictum

you panted for air as panic pained 
   as the young life in you drained
   a ghastly gagged youthful life 
   strangled dictum…

   and relatives chocked with grief
   as friends shocked with disbelief
   seeing your destiny you would not reach
   strangled dictum…

   a budding jasmine brutally butchered 
   a blameless young life beastly botched
   a blossoming rose harshly hacked
   strangled dictum….
