Epitaph

Do you feel the searing pain,my friend?
When the fire ripped through your body
Effacing what semblance of peace you could enjoy
In the inner recesses of your mind.

Comfort zone no more-
For now you are stripped to the gore
I understand how the chagrin in you will burn
As indignation takes hold.

Once,you occupied a place in the hearts of many
Once,you were an indispensable friend.
But the domineering and overbearing triumphed
Nulling your infinite influence.

Indeed,it is overwhelming and ever-agonising
To know you only in our distant memories
To have you guarding the ones you love
Without a chance for us to express gratitude.

We know very well you did not want to leave
Without saying goodbye;we do.
Just that the god-forsaken menaces of the ruler
Took rein,and took you away.

Let us vow to take them down.
