Charnel Poem by Rohan Nambiar

Charnel

Rating: 4.6


Creeping dead sound bells
Comes to lost minds
Mystic feel of fear
May evoke at the war front
A body to loose, battle to be won
Pride and honour to the nation
Stocks may see ups and downs
Some body loose, others win
All have to die a day
Without exclusion of cast and creed
Battles of glory with tainted sadness
Nothing distinct in good and evil
Where bodies & parts dislocated
Piling up with a sense of unity
Is mind and body made a seperation
Life after death the another one
Above doubts remain a mystery
This is the place where
Mind and body have a rest

Nice timely poem...on the pile of dislocted bodies....mind and heart unite more strongly to build a undestructable wall of pride, love and integration. thanks for sharing

The closing lines of this piece are filled with meaning. The reader is asked to do more than required in reading this, so there is a chance of both non communication or even mis- communicated meaning. The title is no help. For that reason I can't recommend this. However much the talent of the writer is displayed. GW62

Life is constant battle berween what a man should do and what he wants to do.Inevitably we all die and can take with us only what we have learnt this lifetime And even that is blanked out when we start the next life to learn that which we need to know Your command of english is a credit to you and your vocabulary is also good But always a but You tend to come across to a native speaker of english as a little to flowery.Simple words can convey as much and sometimes more than high flown expressions. I assume you prefer honesty to false praise ivor

the poem gets a robust start with a good prologue that compels to read but ends with telling something different...but ends good...good expressive writing style...10/10
