When I lost my capacity to retaliate <br />I’d feel I found myself in the hell. <br />When I lost my capacity to hurt myself <br />I’d feel I ceased to feel the hell. <br />Then the death bell evokes no fear, nor tears. <br />14.11.05<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-knell/
