In a wooden nest lies a body. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br />A bag of bones. <br />A memoir on woes. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br /> <br />In a sealed trunk lies a body. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br />A disguise of flesh. <br />A cover of sand. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br /> <br />In a funeral attraction lies a body. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br />A vulture's dinner. <br />A maggot's appetizer. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br /> <br />In a disposal case lies a body. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br />An expired vehicle. <br />A dried up lake. <br />A body lies lifelessly there. <br /> <br />Before the throne is present a soul. <br />A soul awaiting judgment there. <br />An amnesty avoider. <br />A mercy averter. <br />A soul burns permanently there. <br /> <br />Copyright © Christian Eliab Ratnam 2012 <br />ALL RIGHTS RESERVED<br /><br />Christian Eliab Ratnam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-broken-body-a-condemned-soul/
