Soon To Be Extinct.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Soon To Be Extinct..



The smoke billows through their sky,
Their souls leave with haste suddenly,
The cries heard and the victory may be claimed,
They hold their mythological books tight.

Wearing the robes and clutching the wounded,
Sieving the rubble to find the peace they are taught,
Unshaven beards full of itch ridden scars,
They hold their mythological books for support.

Doves are there, released from the pacific,
Carried the message to poke and bandage,
The skull caps are multi colored to hide the patches,
They hold their mythological books for guidance.

These books are too dangerous, as these release the devils,
From the hearts of angelic human who are visually impaired,
Limbs are scattered and the heads are swallowed,
They still hold their mythological books to prove to be extinct.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi 27 August 2014

The famous books of the world are the reasons for the devils to emerge from the hearts of the innocent humans. 1. as one of the books has claimed that SOMEONE had already shed the blood for the generations of sins that have been committed and this perception makes the human to sin first and ask for forgiveness later. 2. Another famous book is the contamination of few different books from middle east and Indian continent, which speaks about the war and this book teaches its followers to keep quiet until the enemies (people of different faith) arrive at its doorstep, so the followers are normally well behaved, but their mind is tuned to the violence and war. People are innocent as they always have the problems and don't have anyone to lean on, except these consolers that are fake..

The books hide devils and they release doves. Dangers are pointed out. Nice poem.
