Brave hearts don’t survive <br />The vicissitudes of dark life <br />Ogling in sadistic anticipation <br />Lips licking they wait just round the corner <br />Ready to pounce on unsuspecting life <br /> <br />Brave hearts die an easy prey <br />Dreaming of a better future <br />Always elusive, forever eluding, <br />Deceived, abandoned, outcaste <br /> <br />Yet brave hearts survive still <br />Dreaming, just yearning for <br />An impossible existence <br />A future never felt <br /> <br />Brave hearts carry on <br />The everlasting life <br />In a chimera called <br />Death.<br /><br />Sutapa Chaudhuri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brave-heart-7/
