I lie, <br />Fighting desperately <br />In a dirty corner of Brace Bridge <br />Wrapped in rags <br />And carefully sealed, <br />Inside a plastic bag. <br /> <br />While somewhere close by, <br />Someone is counting every minute <br />Waiting for my cries to be muffled <br />And for my breathe <br />To be stifled <br />But I refuse to oblige…. <br /> <br />I refuse to oblige <br />And to give up my right <br />My right to move and cry <br />And draw attention <br />To my plight <br /> <br />Tell me, <br />Why should I lie here? <br />Wasting away with each hour <br />Why should I cling to life desperately? <br />Don’t I deserve anything better for me? <br /> <br />For don’t I have <br />The right to live? <br />The right to eat? <br />The right to breathe? <br /> <br />Tell me, <br />Why should I succumb <br />To your deeds? <br />My creators, <br />Tell me, <br />Why should I die, <br />To give you peace inside! !<br /><br />Satarupa Rudrapal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/abandoned-29/
