Bigger sinner
Bebica Louriyam *
The scream of that night lingered on my ears
I was in some one's lap
With dizzy eyes, searching for my mom
At a corner of my dusty house
She laid there surrounded by many unknown women
When I tried to reach my mom
They asked me not to bother her
Could not understand them
Mom always wanted me around
Mom always stole my mischief from dad
Rubbing my eyes often
To find him around
To my question, some replied "He'll be back tomorrow"
To annoy, some said "don't keep the boy in dark".
The sin of my dad might have been higher than the mountain
Or as wide as the ocean, that
The bullet pierced his heart, splashing
The blood on my mother
Yet, for which reason my mom also embedded in your punishment
Who is living yet in dead?
Or me?
'Forgiveness' is what we had left behind
'Power' is what we adore, now
We no longer belong to human race
With the feelings of predator.
"Oi you.....................you
Hey, hotel boy, stop staring and clean the table".
