The Innocent Burial

A sacred sacrifice
Had tampered fates
Befell on those whose glory one relayed
A heavenly fruit in disguise poisoned the king that ostracized

The lesson learnt was soon forgotten
Brought another fellow beast to life
Carriages covered in lavender leaves 
Strangled the malicious monarch that used to greed

The innocent one had emerged 
But it seemed as if the stars had cursed
Baby Luke was burnt to death
Only if the fates had been reset

Zainab Asim July 2, 2023 at 11:11 AM The innocent burial shows how one can never escape their tangled fate and that nature has it's own way of dealing with people. One should take this poem as inspiration that fates can however be changed by handwork, persistence and most importantly truth.
